Yeah I did. And it still cranks on the 1st pull and runs great ( uses a little oil) I just needed MORE POWER

Did you have any problems with the center light contacting the bow roller when loading or unloading?

Good for you.

About your boat. Looks like a wooden boat. Did you build it?

Did you add that area painted White where the lights are bolted to?

How about a few more detailed pixs of the boat?

Lights:

3- 500 watt units?
