My new Flounder Boat. - Page 19

Yes I would like the filter if it's clean and in the box.

Boat has to go to ECM today for some fuel problems.

A year of sitting and hanging of the motor on the A-frame has not been good.

It will get more crowded up there when the lights are mounted.

Brand new. Box has a little garage rash. Plastic still on filter. Original Suzuki OEM equipment.
Freebie. Just pick up in Mobile or pay shipping.
Also, a pic from last night.

Yep....That's the correct filter Overkill. Sending you a PM.

Jack I'm working on a transformer /Ballast box right now for the lights.

The boat is at ECM for a fuel problem from the motor sitting for a year.

I'm plugging away as fast as I can.

Just finished building the Ballast box. The 400watt units weigh aprox.35lbs each with all the guts in them. So to get weight off the front of the boat the housing gets gutted except for the reflector,socket and bulb.

There is a transformer / Ballast, Igniter and capacitor that get moved out of the light housing.

.

The Honda is still in whisper mode and running maybe 1/4 throttle.

A Special Thank You to the guys at B&D Welding for building those neat little Louvers.

There is a small fan mounted in the box for cooling.

The light set up is AWESOME!!! Can't wait to see some night pics!!!

Please explain why you did not go with digital ballasts? I am going to be converting my halogens to HPS and would like to understand the differences.
I know nothing about electricity but did like the "plug and play" and weight of digital.
Thanks.

$$$$$$ $150 each for the Lumateks.

The others come with the lights. So do you want to buy a complete light and then throw the new part you just paid for away? Then spend another $150.

Now I've read enough,seen enough that I now know I could get with Doug at B&D and we could build some nice light housings. They would be smaller than the E-Conolight 400's you see here and turn the bulb sideways. This would make the units smaller.

I can tell ya....These Lights Get HOT! Should feel good in the winter.
