[QUOTE="chevyrulz, post: 426320, member: 10914"] simrad repair complete, got the transducer mounted back up. also, took the boat to the welder to figure out the lighting setup, decided to fabricate some expanded metal cages for the lights using the same mesh metal material like is found on War Eagle & G3 light setups, big bbq pits, etc. will then weld some mounts onto the hull around the bow eye for the lights, 2 spotlights firing forward for channel markers, 2 flood/spot lights firing port/starboard for river banks, the cages will allow the lights to be protected from dock collisions yet still flip down for gigging, as well as be easily cleaned/removed when pluff mud inevitably cakes them up. will post pictures once completed, i'm debating on wiring in these LED bars to the courtesy light circuit instead of running a new wire/switch for them, what do y'all think about running 2 16' LED strips & 4 18w LED bars off a 16ga wire? i would think it'll be fine, but i am no electrician or arithmetician haha [/QUOTE]
