| How to Add Bully Netting Lights to a Boat |
| |
This is a picture of our 2010 bully net lighting setup. We took an
outdoor Compact Florescent Light (CFL) we picked up at Home Depot
and attached it to some
marine board. We added a plug and u-bolt and were done. We ran 3
of these things on a single 175 min marine battery from Bass Pro Shop for about 4 or 5 hours
with no problem. Of course we used a second battery for the lights
and not our main battery. Each of these bulbs put out the equivalent of a 1000 watt incandescent
bulb and are almost a foot long yet only take 100 watts. We saw numerous
other setups and found it sad to see how many other boats were using
things like standard incandescent bulbs. There is no quicker way to drain your battery then
to use inefficient bulbs.
On our flats boat we started off attaching one of our lights to the push pole using two u-bolts. We were forced to do this since the
flats boat doesn't have a railing to attach the light to. This didn't last very long as the light was only a couple of inches above
the water. Within a few hours the light stopped working after getting spashed a few too many times. At that point we switched to the
FISHNLIGHT BL200 underwater fishing light with the Remora screw-less SeaSucker vacuum mount.
