Building a Gunboat (Part 5)
Dated: July 5, 2008.
Gunboat, now with lights
Mr. Nuno M. Cabeçadas
Portugal
I placed two very small independent flashlights one pointed to each compartment. Its possible to spot the metalic switches and the holes that allow the light to enter the compartments. The flashlights are kept in place by a small sponge that keeps them under pressure inside the hull and can be easly replaced if faulty. These flashlights are sold by pairs with batteries and a small clip to keep them in place by 2.50 Euros. I removed the clip and sanded them to reduce the height before placed them inside the boat. This is
a very easy conversion, really not much to be told about and don't require any expertise with electrical connections, its just a matter of dropping the flashlights where they are needed.
Many thanks to Mr. Nuno M. Cabeçadas.
