Spot Light

Paddler · 03-25-2008, 07:15 PM

I'm looking for a spotlight to mount on the front of my windshield frame. Any suggestions? Now that I have radar it's not so much of an issue. I had one kinda hairy moment trying to find the entrance at La Push in the dark a couple of years ago, and do not wish to repeat it.

I have the low end ITT Jabsco mounted up hi on the hardtop bill. Not much on performance, I also carry a handhelp spot that plugs in the 12 V plug by the dash, that's what i use for the "hairy" approaches. The Jabsco is near worthless.

Thanks, Jim. The approach to La Push is due north. There was a 15-20 kt wind from the NW, which kept blowing the helm door closed. So, I had to try to shine the 1 million candle power flashlight through the windshield. The reflection off the windshield made seeing where I was going difficult. Wouldn't have been so bad if I had some help, but I was alone in the boat, and only have two hands. Not that much fun, which prompts my question. A light up front would be nice.

You might look into the golights.

Oh for the want of a FLIR unit.
