  Sweet. Where did you get yours?  A few of my cup holders have cracked at the rim, may as well upgrade!

  Ebay. $70 for 8pcs. Pretty good deal.

  What is the best way to wire all of these up? I haven't done much electrical stuff in the past. Is it easy?

  All black wires go to battery ground... all red wires go together and get fed +12v from a switch.

  Daze, very nice and nice to see the kiddos with the jackets! One suggestion if I may. I did this also and The wiring on these is very cheap. Any pull on the solder will disconnect the wire. Strap them tight so there's no pull. have a few in stock in case the wiring or led goes kablooie. Never know when down the line they might fail and the specific ones you have may not be around. ...once again, nice look.
  
  Oops, don't notice this was from 2016 post, lol

  I am the newest member of the LED cup holder club.  I bought the 1 Light cup holders and I like how they turned out.  I also added the tri color cockpit lights.

  Very nice Jonny  I got the same cup holders but haven't had time to install them yet.  Do the cockpit lights fit over the existing holes?  Where did you get them.

  Thanks, I had to make the holes a little larger but it was worth it.  I got them from Overtons.  http://www.overtons.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?pdesc=ITC-Tri-Color-LED-Light&i=773104

  I kinda want to do these, but I have 16 cup holders on board, and $150 for cup holders when mine are already nice stainless steel with drains is a little spendy.

  @JoeStang
  
  I just bought S/S cup holders and have pre drilled some hole to install the led strip lights like I did on my 270. Its easy but takes some time running the wire. If you interested I have a post on here. Cost is around $50 total.

  I just finished up mind as well. Very bright! They fit nice and snug, but the lip was a little smaller than the plastic OEM cupholders. I'll have to glue the upholstery to get it tucked in nicely...

  Update... 
  I added my home made led cup holders(stainless steel this time) again and ran the led strip lighting in the cockpit area again like on my 270. I haven't decided if I will go in the cabin with them yet or leave the existing rope lighting. I will update with pics when it's darker so it gives the full effect.

  OK, I am the latest member of the LED cup holders association. The only problem is I have pi$$ed off the admiral. We have a 2001 Captiva 232CC. Her port seat only has a folding wall mount cup holder that is old and is hard to open. The design doesn't allow for a dash mount because of the sliding door to the cuddy. Has anyone found a wall mount other than this cheap folding wall mount cup holder? Any suggestions will keep me out of hot water with her.

  My old bayliner had a cheap plastic folding cup holder right by the step up to the dash.  I replaced it with a stainless and it was easier to open and use and didn't break everytime you touched it.  They are a bit pricy but are worth it if you want to stay with this style.

  Ok, boat isn't out front. How many stainless cup holders does the 280EC have? I'm thinking 14 from memory?

  Off the top of my head, I believe there are at least 12. If the rain lets up, I will try and get to the boat today and count them for you.

  I forgot about the one on the starboard rear deck and the one next to the driver seat below the throttle. Of the 14 that are stainless, 2 of them are at the rear jump seat on the swim platform. It's crazy that there are 3 at the helm. LOL
