It sounds like most people swap out the 500s for 300 - 400. I will probably end up doing that as well. Thanks for the clarification XShark.

I just set up my boat with 4 300w halogens and that was plenty of light for me! if you plan on running 4 500w lights thats 2000w and like xshark said you will peobably burn up your generator. i personally found that 4 300w lights was enough for me. i run a colmen powermate right now but am looking into upgrading to a honda...power mate is bareable but would like it to be a little quiter. i put my generator all the way in the back of my boat (17' boat) and me and MR can talk up front fairly easily but when in his boat with his honda less then 8 feet away you almost dont even know its running.
