Get an in-line fuse: http://www.amazon.com/Scotty-Marine--line-Fuse-Holder/dp/B003ZZKAXY/ref=sr_1_7?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1426011056&sr=1-7&keywords=in-line+fuse
Run a wire from each terminal on the battery to where you want the LED strip to be.
Add the fuse to the positive (red) wire. Then run the red wire from the fuse to the one of the wires on the LED strip and the ground wire (negitive/black terminal on the battery) to the other.
Disconnect the wire you ran from the battery, and cut it wherever you want to add the dimmer and splice in the dimer. Then re-connect the battery.
If it were rock, you're completely right (except the moment arm is 2"). But we're talking about sand and mud which neither are particularly rigid. When I was a subsea design engineer, we had structures over 900 sqft sinking 4" immediately in the Gulf of Mexico (granted they were pretty heavy). This thing is .016 sqft.
But anything's possible, so in two weeks we're going to take the boat out to the lake and beach it to see what happens, with video. Worse case scenario is that this valve is only practical on ski boats.
What do you think of these? They stick out the same distance, but don't hang down.
If you can’t find the original thread size and type, Check for the 3/4” rubber types you hand tighten - and 1” rubber types - always good to have a few -

The higher 2 are scuppers, they drain the water above the bilge. Look at getting something like these for the scuppers: Flow Max Scupper https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000XBHNH4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Uk8VDbSBHFBN7 (but NOT for the main drain plug) the little ball in these floats and seals the hole to keep water from coming in from the stern but still allow water to drain out. Make sure you use a good sealant (3m 4200 or 5200) on the screw holes and around the edges of the ball scuppers
No, God please no! Do not do this. This will NOT remove all of the used oil. Also, you can very easily find a smaller version of what is known as a "plug" used in boats to keep water out during use and removed after use to allow residual water to drain (rainwater, water accumulated during use).
They look similar to this

I know it appears to be a rather mickey mouse solution. I've done it myself on my own vehicle due to my monkey grip over tightening of the drain plug.
What about something like this but tweaked. Maybe a longer bolt etc, the concept of squishing rubber inside the seat tube and expanding it?
