Post Bowfishing build
I bought 4 Seelite 50w Halo LEDs for my 1646 gator tail. I have them set up for 12v and each light fused individually. I will be adding 2 more 50w Seelites in a few weeks.

Are you running them off batteries?

Also, somebody would get their tail kicked in my boat for throwing trash in the fish bucket. Ain't nothin worse than pickin your cans outta there ;)

The first battery ran for about 1.5 hrs but I had used to early that day for the trolling motor. The second batter ran two more hrs and was on 50% when I hooked it up on the charger.

Where did you get that fuse block, and do you have a part number or name brand?

How do you have them connected to the deck? Is it easy to remove and put back on?

What brand is your driving light? Been looking for something like that for my boat.

I got 12 27 watt led's on my boat. Haven't decided if I want to upgrade to the 50s or not.

It's a rigid industry. Spot/flood combo.
