Re: Docking lights or no?
 

Well I guess I dont fit into the crowd.. I had them on my 25 Checkmate and they worked great at nite when there was no moon.. At 50mph you couldnt tell they were on. Shined right through the water. I was following a cruiser one nite and I could see him cause he had his lights on, but I swung my bow over to see if the lights would shine that far.. Lit up the back of that boat like Fourth of July. Suddenly all the drunks on the back of that boat saw me.. I swung the bow back on course and flew right by them.
I think they are a good idea for running at nite when the moon is black and everything else is black on Lake Michigan. But if it is illegal.. well I guess I'll never do that again.. hmmmmmmmm Of course they were too expensive on the new boat, was going to add them later.. Now I am saving for gas money!!

I have a hard time finding the darn handheld light, that switch was always a short reach away and lighting up bouys on Macatoilet was a good thing sometimes.. I have to go with Foul on this one.. but it's up to you!!

There are a Gazillon "SLOW SPEED MANATEE ZONE" signs on Pilings out in the St Johns River ..... At nite I can turn the lites on momentarily and pickup the reflective Signs ...... Someone is going to be killed .....

You do realize they are aimable, like car headlights, right??

Re: Docking lights or no?
 

I bet if you used a high intensity discharge bulb and ballast you guys that are unhappy with them might change your mind. I helped a guy install them in a Cobalt and he says anything reflective sticks out like a sore thumb from 200 yards out. I don't know what bulbs you guys have in yours but this Cobalt used a piss-ant 893 bulb. I couldn't understand how they expected it to work.

Don't let Waterfoul kid you. He uses his docking lights to light up his driveway at night to play basketball.
