  • driving lights on a boat are by law illegal. that being said safety is your responsibility. if you run your boat after dark on any public waterway there's a right way and a wrong way to do it. #bowfishing #boating #safety #boatcaptain #whiteriverrambo
    Search "7" HID offroad 55w" for best results.

    This was an extremely helpful video I started bowfishing the Ohio River in 2006 and til now I never knew what the barge light signals ment we just always stayed out of there way but this is great information to know thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom

      I'll try to bring a better example out on the river this summer. I had to learn all this the hard way. Pay attention to the shipping lanes it will be the dashed line in the river on your GPS or navionics app. They run that exact line unless they are meeting one another. That will give you a good idea what you need to do when you see one. Be safe out there brother.

    Hi, I'm in Scotland I have a 1976 Mayland16 fisher boat with a 76-78 Evinrude 9.9hp that's now got the 15hp carb on. It's hull is a semi displacement to be exact it's a scaled down version of a vospa torpedo boat with a UK style full cuddy and mine has the desirable top windscreens and Cape, it weighs 288kg so planes no problem from 9knot and sits all day at 15knot at 75% throttle.
    Personally I wanted a detachable and manually movable light so after spending like £400 on utter junk to find one that lasted and that looked good on the water I finally decided to DIY it. I made one up from a bosch universal headlight that's from an old ducati 600cc monster. The newer ones you can get the reflector side of the housing to fit an H7 if you do a few little cuts with some snips. I then fitted an osram H7 and wired it up to a golf Mk5 headlight relay switch so it works two stage so a flick of a switch it has dip and full beams. It sits on a yoke I had from a dirt bike that I bolted to the cuddy behind the escape hatch and I drilled and tapped a hole in the mount it sits on so I can screw a rod holder into it and use the rod holder to move the light about if I'm searching with it. Really simple it took me 2hr to go pick the bulbs, housing and mount from Eurocarparts then 5 drill holes later it was on the boat and wired up. It's stupid bright on full beam yet uses next to no battery on dipped.

    Hey Dustin, do you have a recommendation for which HID light brand to purchase? By the way thank you for the info! I've been trying to run light bars on the Columbia river and having a tough time seeing logs and floating deadheads while on step with enough time to safely avoid them! Now I just need to get some HIDs!

    • @DustinApple

      The newest LED driving lights from 5star LED "100w spot/flood navigation lights" are the best possible option now. Tell Victor McNew I sent you.

    I see the 4" one on the link to Amazon they also show a 7" but from a different company but looks the same. Would the 4" or 7" works best?

    How well do these work in the fog?

    • @DustinApple
      @DustinApple  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      nothing works in the fog great but you can put yellow headlight film over the lens covers. it helps.

      You need the UK fog lights from a scania or Volvo truck. They work good in fog buy are 24v only and you need to find a housing for them.
