Malbrew Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Has anyone installed a light bar above the T-top on a 2600 HPS? Looking for suggestions? Rigid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfisher67 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 I had a ‘’Phishlight” double row LED bar that Ships Chandler is Destin installed for me. It’s crazy bright. If you don’t have a hard top I’d suggest mounting it as far forward as you can. The light is so bright it comes through soft top...not a big deal and the install on mine is super clean. They routed all wiring internally through the Ttop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher67 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Here are a few pics coming home after Sandestin did their fireworks show....I’d say we were about 300 yards from the house easily. I’d be careful running them towards an incoming boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malbrew Posted January 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 10-4 Fin Addict, only needed when running in certain areas such as Lake Barre in South Louisiana and used sparingly. These areas are infested with objects that can tear a boat up. I trust my radar but in close quarters with multiple unlit targets, nothing beats a light. As far as being illegal, many mud boats in our area run with them. Where we fish at night, we rarely see another vessel and haven't seen another boat in the past two years. As the saying goes "there are captains that have hit something at night and those who have not hit something yet" I plan to be the "not yet" for as long as possible, using everthing necessary.

Malbrew Posted January 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Thanks Kingfisher, that is exactly what I need. Lived in Destin in the 90's, worked in FWB for the Florida Marine Research Institute as a Biologist studying juvenile fish populations. Love fishing Choctwhatchee Bay, use to know that bay like the back of my hand. Trout on ultra light tackle over the clear grass beds was the best! And the deeper holes in the winter.... Planning on bring my boat there this summer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
