Anyone have some install pics of how they installed deck lights with all the foam in the Rangers?

I will try to find mine and I know that Chris King has some. It is a PITA to do. You have to mark location and drill hole in the gunnel. Then dig out foam through the hole to the tubing that you can snake wiring through to the next spot....................I did my 14' Z519C and won't do it again. The final results look very nice; I got my 520C with the Rigid Package factory installed...........................RR

I agree. They are nice to have but I will never do that job on a ranger again!

I don't have any install pictures of when I was doing it, but here's a video afterwards. It was definitely a big job..I just drilled my 1/2" hole carefully into the glass, then found the rigging tube and more carefully poked a hole in that to run the wire. I ran all mine to the bow to a distribution block, then ran a power wire back to my ACC1 and dimmer on the console.
