The engine power pack makes about 4-6 amps I think so I'd be breaking even power wise on the way in to hunt and then gaining juice on the boat ride back after the hunt.

Just squint...it'll be fine.

True, I put the box on to make it so I don't have to squint from all the glare that reflects off anything in front of the light. Even sealed the seams/joints with lastomeric caulk.

I'll tell you what else it's good for, keeping the light from bouncing off your bow and blinding you. I don't really have a way to not have that happen right now, and to see well I need to hold my hand up covering that light bouncing back, or have someone sitting up front so their outline blocks it.
But mine are still running strong.

I already had the plywood deck with holes in it for the trolling motor. Wood butchered it but it works. Got the bow light up out of the way too. It was in the way and made a ton of reflections back at me.

I just can't slap together a plywood box on a 13k dollar boat just wouldn't be right.
I was going to take it to a welder and have one made but now that it's for sale I'll just leave it as is.
