Yea but the floating crap in Bahstan Habba will destroy your lower unit.

I do use it almost always.....

I turn it on for a few seconds at a time, if I hold it way over my head so it does not glare on the bow it is fine. I need one with a more focused beam, or just mount it so it does not shine on the cabin.
I have not bothered looking into it, been too busy fishing....

I still need to take some pics, I will try to remember.,

Hi Jim,
Great info! Did you already swap out your nav lights for LEDs ? I need to get some sealed LED nav lights for my boat.

Run on Narr Bay with no spotlight all summer. The only thing I ever hit was a 4X4 is Grennwich Bay one morning about 3 years ago. No damage. I like to stay stealth when I'm out at night and have been known to run "with he who cannot be mentioned" all the way to Gould Island with no lights at 2:00 AM
