Hey all, new to the forum, and looking to pick up as much as I can on my newest found addiction. Got hookd last year on bowfishing at Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. I already have a boat and stared setting I up immediately and found a platform and rail already built and modified it slightly to fit my boat last year. Yesterday i changed it up more after finding out my deck was too high with no shooting rail, so I lowered the deck 2 feet.
My setup is a 20/72 Xpress with 90 Merc prop. 40 inch high rail and have lowered my deck to 16 inches instead of top of rail, now have a 24 inch rail around deck. The setup had 8 500 watt halogen shop lights on it but was hard on the generator and didnt like the way they were mounted s they came off yesterday. Im looking at 110v 50 watt led warm white lights. I can get a package of 10 and pretty much run solid light around entire deck and only be pulling 500 watts and leave the big loud genny at home an take the small quiet yamaha inverter/genny to run lights and keep batteries charged. Ill be running fish finders, interior leds, trolling motor etc off batteries so plan to run the 110v lights off genny on bowfishing deck.. My question, will the 10 50 watt leds be a good setup and give me good light? Im pretty new to this and have heard leds arent great in muddy water. Ive never fished over them. What would you all change on this rig?
