    Lighted emblem

    Came up with this to cover up a 3/4 inch hole that was drilled to accommodate a GPS puck (that was no longer needed and removed)...

    Normally...




    When the navigation lights are on...

    Its just a scrap piece of clear plastic (acrylic or plexiglass). I heated it slightly in a toaster oven and formed it over the domed plastic to achieve the same shape. The Humminbird logo is simply cut from black outdoor vinyl and applied over translucent amber vinyl. The LED strips are under the plastic. The edge trim is a section of split vacuum line pushed on to the edge and sealed at the bottom.

    The vinyl cutting was done with a Cricut Machine. I've made a bunch of decals and iron-ons with that thing....
