| Will anybody tell us what these things are?!?!?
Sounds like a great below-the-keel visual index for night diving, if
it's what it sounds like to my one-track mind.

If the neon lights for boats are anything like what I saw on
the undercarriages of some of the cars down in FL, I don't
think they're intended to help with night diving. Not the
underwater kind, anyway...
Wonder if neon would go well with a 40 year old boat?

Gee, Rick you had to travel all the way to FLA to see cars with
neon undercarriage jobs? Hmmm.. I see 'em all the time... hmmmm...
Yup, it's the same idea, only this time for boats.... The only
place I can think of to "safely" mount any of these underwater
neon lights would be under the swim platform on the transom.

| 1049.4 | Neon submersible trailer lights... | MR4DEC::FBUTLER | | Thu Apr 01 1993 10:40 | 15 |

While going through a newly acquired magazine (don't remember the name,
but I still have it at home...) I saw an add for a "Brand new, NEON
trailer light kit"...it was billed as being the "latest innovation" to
aid in loading your boat back on the trailer...looked like it was set
up to give your trailer that glow in the dark look whilst being
submerged at night. I didn't remember seeing any thing like this in
other trips through mag's over the past summer...and it's quite a ways
down on the list of spring purchases, like at the bottom...

| 1049.6 | Buck catchers maybe? | MR4DEC::FBUTLER | | Wed Apr 07 1993 08:48 | 9 |
| Apparently they define the "LZ" for the boat...? Looked to me like one
more pretty much useless gadget attempting to pry the already to few
dollars out of my back pocket. The add had a real "Be the first one on
your block..." slant to it. But then again, I'm pretty new to the
whole power boat/trailer scene, so what do I know? I've loaded several
times at night, and the normal backup/brake/turn/park light assemblies
on my trailer already gave me a pretty good idea of where the trailer
was...

| 1049.7 | Trailer loading guides would be cheaper | SALEM::NORCROSS_W | | Wed Apr 07 1993 10:43 | 6 |
| I wouldn't doubt that it would be cheaper to install trailer loading
guides (the poles that attach to the trailer frame and center the boat
to the trailer) rather than neon lights. They would certainly be more
reliable and last longer. If you really want lights, they have light
kits for the top of the trailer loading guides.

| 1049.8 | Useless | SALEM::GILMAN | | Thu Apr 08 1993 13:18 | 5 |
| Yeah, I have always been able to find my trailer by the brake/running
lights too, (smile). More lights underwater? Just more electrical
stuff to have problems with... useless if you ask me.
