Bilge lighting?
What have you guys done in terms of lights in the bilge ? I thought about machining up some brackets and using “ rock lights “ like I used to do on my crawlers years ago with 3-4 different color settings. What are your suggestions? For my ol Cigarette Cafe Racer.

I'm looking for a good solution. I'm thinking more of a strip light system that has more lumens but less intensity from any single source. Makes it easier to see everything from multiple angles.

The access to the area becomes part of the scope of work, doesn't it? How on God's green Earth do you get in there, especially on multiple engine boats?

i used the underbody style thats in tube, https://www.ledunderbody.com/led-underbody-light-kits/ ended up being expensive after adding the extra tubes etc but being its in the tube its easier to mount them, the tape style i would stick them to some aluminum strips then attach them to the fiberglass/
I bought this for the trailer, ended up around 800 in it 75ft

I had crap luck with the adhesive sticky back ones, kept falling off, even added some 3M double sided tape and didnt work

In hard to bond with tape places or places that will get abuse I use 3m weatherstrip glue. put it on where you want something, put it on the something, let them dry a bit and then attach them. It works really well and can be removed if needed, it just sucks removing.
