yea i have two of them on the deck i want more but can't because of the electrical system i want cabin lights too but that will have to wait.

hey just curious has anybody seen or heard from racerx havent seen him in a while just wondering i know he was around alot and havent seen him since the crash.
 
yea it will any thing that draws electricity will hurt it because i was told by my machinic that one more electircal thing addid to the boat and it would short out i wanted to add two more speakers to the stereo i wanted to put on a spot light i wanted radar but i cant do that now i might ptu a new electrical system in when i redo the dash but well see how the budget is for now. ;D ;D ;D

Sounds like all you need maybe is a bigger fuse box ?

i am doing that now i have the new blade system in there kind of like a cars system. do you think i sould add a third battery to support it better or just leave it at the fuse box.

nice pic's builder Fl you are a real do it yourselfer that boat will be brand new before your done it looks like. great job
 
Nah, I wouldnt go with a third battery at all. I figure you have two batteries, one battery for starting and the other for lights, stero, ect. Thats plenty of battery, I guess you have an alternator to charge, but either way, you can run alot more stuff if you wanted to. You can run the stero straight off the battery with a inline fuse attached, or just run the stero off one of the fuses from the fuse box, wich ever is the shortest distance I figure.
 
yes i do have two batterys and an alternater but not sure how well it works i jump it every time i take her out.

i hope i dont offend anybody with what i am about to say but

i do have alot of electrical stuff on her already

here is a list

bilge pump
vhf radio
am/fm/cd radio
xm satilite radio
gps
blower
deck lights
dixie horn

You have no more then anybody else has. So if you wanted to add a spotlight, you should be fine.

ok looks like i will also be adding a spot light to the restoration.i am calling the project

FISHBONEJR REBORN

look for it in my gallery
 
What makes great light for night fishing is red rope lights!!!

I have a inverter on my boat, nothing big just a small one, and it lights them rope lights fine.

Tuck them under the gunnels and you never see them, till you turn them on, then its a nice glow with pleanty of light!!

Being under the gunnel keeps all light in the boat and nothing spills out on the water to scare the fish.

I am going to twist a white light with my red, this way when I want lots of light I will have it!!

Red or orange is great as they don't ruin your night vision when oin the water.

I have a 1 million Candle power rechargeable spot light for finding buoy's.

they always die before i get back to the marina though.
 
Well what you need on that boat is a good GPS Map, Then you just need to find the buoy and then shut her down.
 
M.J., I thought about buying an inverter as well. Is it hardwired right off the battery, can you mount it in a perminment location. The one I seen was portable only.
 
Lewes has a X-Mas boat parade on the canal, alot of te boats put on X-Mas lights and go up and down the canal. Thought of maybe doing it this year. ;D
 
i was thinking about doing that as well. anyone have an idea on how long a battery would last on the inverter to say power lights , fan,etc for those hot days?/..
 
I have a 400 watt and its plenty, I run two battery's so I leave one for the motor.

Lights last a long time!! But that said I leave the 2nd battery on all the time so when I am moving from one spot to the next its charging some.
 
i have a 350 watt do you think i could use that??
but i think i have preety good gps already it is a garmen 182C but i guess i dont no how to use it. but what i really need a spot light for is making sure i sont run in to any body while out and docking they have no dock lights what so ever, it is pick black. let me know.
