Yes, you can. The yacht letters would have originally been cut from a digital file somewhere along the line. If you can locate and send us this original file, we can use this to replicate your front letter profile onto our illumination backing letter. The files are usually kept with the shipyard or designer. More often than not, we can match fonts too.

Yes, all our LED illuminated yacht names come complete with an IP67 power supply junction box to suit your on-board voltage. Our power supply must be used as this regulates the voltage being sent to the individual letters. In most cases they are the size of a small shoe box and are easily mounted with four screws.

As daunting as it sounds, all illuminated yacht names require holes to be drilled into the superstructure of the yacht. Don’t let this discourage you; we always endeavour to keep mounting holes and wire holes to a minimum and their locations are meticulously plotted via the use of precise drilling templates. In some cases, hole locations can be digitally laid over General Arrangement (GA) plans to see what internal obstructions there may be. Correctly installed letters should never leak into the yacht.

Our standard mounting method is threaded studs integrally mounted into the backs of each letter. You tell us the thickness of the mounting surface, we determine the stud length. The threaded fixings pass through template-drilled holes and fasten up from inside the yacht with the aid of washers and nuts. The letters will fit directly flush onto the mounting surface. Please contact us for details on correctly sealing the drilled holes from the elements.

Alternatively, we can offer our External Mounting System (EMS). This is a series of two-part stainless steel spacers consisting of M10 pins that protrude from the backs of the letters and fasten into 24mm (Ø) female lugs, which are tapped into the hull at M16. This allows for precise installation, even when you have little-to-no internal access.

All of our yacht names are sent out with a comprehensive list of installation instructions; on the whole – with the correct equipment – they are fairly easy to install. We also offer a worldwide installation service.

We offer an alternative fixing method via our External Mounting System (EMS), whereby the letters are fastened to the yacht from the outside with two-part stainless steel spacers. The only access needed will be to group the wires up from inside. This can be done using a combination of pull-rods and a hook-type tool.
