I want to put a pair of lights on the front of my boat (15' bluefin profish) to aid in river navigation and docking/launching at night. I've been looking at the regular automotive lights and thinking about a ball mount (RAM style?) to facilitate easy aiming. I found a combination light that has a 55W driving light and a 55W fog light in the same housing, with separate switching. It seems this would allow me the best of both wide lighting and longer distance lighting ahead of the boat.
What comments on this setup?
Would it be worth going up to the 100W offroad halogen bulbs?
I don't need my boat to be visible from twenty miles like some of the crazy FM catfishers, either ;-)
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
