Switchable dual red/white LED for dome lights from Marinebeam.
Think were $20. ...just flick switch again to go from red to white
and silly easy install.

A 14-16 AWG butt connector to splice the tachometer wire that I broke last time I pulled the 50 gallon holding tank to change the exhaust manifold. Had to pull the poopy tank again to change out the engine belt driven coolant circulating pump on the front of the stb. engine. Seemed like it was preordained to fix the broken wire. Not a job I would wish on my worst enemy. Wait. I don't think I have any worst enemies except possibly myself.

Thanks vk2loz@gmail.com

Thats the remote from H.F. I stripped the plug and used this as the wiring diagram, it's from a cheaper unit off amazon but works with this unit as well. Be aware that there is a slight delay, perhaps half a second, but I've gotten used to it.

AAA and AA rechargeable batteries and charging unit. One less thing to run out of at the wrong time.

Many to choose from via Amazon, Walmart, Home Depot, Ebay, etc.
