    Boatmate trailer Bullet cut out light strip?

    Know where I can find the light strip that goes behind the bullet cut out? Are the bulbs replaceable for this?

    Make some from suspended ceiling light panels. From any home center.

    Its coming along! Most of the electronics installed. Dedicated wiring for electronics, lithiums, new charger, new pumps, livewell issue resolved, nav light issue resolved. Working on the trailer now.

    Did you use 1 light strip per side and how did you install?

    Glad to hear you have going your way! Behind the panel on the main beam, I cleaned off a spot with acetone and used RTV silicone. It does a good job holding. The last light strip I installed was about 5-6 years ago and it’s still holding in good. If it loosens, I’ll clean it and do the same. A quick easy way that keeps me from drilling to use clips. And yes, only one strip per side.

    Did you change out the plastic behind the Bullet letter cut-out?

    No I didn’t have to. It’s always been white and very clean looking. If yours is fading do like Mike mentioned and cut out a panel from a ceiling light. He has a great idea there.

    I have two sets of white cutout backers if anyone needs them. I changed my last two trailers to red. This may be illegal in some states but I also have a sheet of red plexi if anyone wants to make some red ones.
