I am thinking about installing waterproof led lighting in my compartments of my 1800 Adventure. I am thinking the best access to the entire project would be to run the 12V lines next to the fuel tank, but I feel this would be one heck of a fire hazard. I have seen 12V wiring burn before ! Has anyone done this already? Suggestions? thank you.. Billfo

I'm wondering where your wiring project would start. Wouldn't it be at a fuse junction under the dash? Then you could run the it under the starboard gunwale for a light, up to the bow for a light, and under the port gunwale back towards the stern for another. I just put our boat in storage 2 days ago, so I can't tell you exactly how the wiring for our LEDs was done by the factory. -Ken

Looking closer & as you say I found the right side wide open. It all looks easier than I thought. The only holes I will need to drill will be in the back two sorage/livewell/cooler insert compartments. and a few for the front livewell & storage. I will just need to figure wire size & fuse size & get a matching accessory switch for the dash. I installed a garage heater last winter, so I will wait until there is absolutely nothing else going on & have some fun I will post pics or a video when I am done
