Default Frayed Knot is almost ready for the fall run.

Just made my new lights (two 250 watt under water lights) and my new powerhead is going on the boat by the end of this month. I will be out there soon.

So....Are you planing on submerging 120Volt lights?

OK



A few of these work pretty good if your using 12V.

Here they are in a custom mount. They draw aprox 3amps each.

I'm still anxious to see these lights Frayed Knot is talking about.



12V and 250watt is going to pull a LOT of amps.

They are (starefires) with 250 watt bulbs that run off 12 volts. Run time is 4 or so hours on big batterys. I only run one light in clear conditions and flip the second on if its gets murky or if a fish runs on us. This system works better than any I have found so far. I can run a small generator to charge both batterys for an all night trip but I hate generators. The bulbs came froman old dental lamp.
