[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 247276, member: 6937"] I hear ya. My boats haven't been used as much this winter as they have in past winters, despite this being a very mild winter. Should be a good year for fishing, though. [-o< At least that's what I'm hoping. The water pressure gauge is such a good idea, I put one on my 16' Triton with the 50 Merc. Sure beats looking back for the indicator stream while you're trying to keep your eyes out in front. Not sure how I ended up posting twice in my previous response, I just noticed that when I saw you had a new post here. I did a little upgrade to my boat, installed a set of prow lights, then switched out the factory halogen bulbs for some high intensity LED's. I can't wait to try them out when I go gigging, to see if they can be used to supplement the amount of available light. I use a set of 3 12 volt 55 watt deck lights for gigging, but every little bit helps. I carry a spare 12 volt battery to run these lights, so I don't kill the one in my boat. And since the LED's in the prow lights draw a fraction of an amp, they should be able to run for a couple of hours with minimal drain to my boat's battery. Hoping to go out tonight, if the wind will die down. Definitely can't wait to see how they work out. [/QUOTE]
