Do you know what, I will regret typing this but I just thought to myself that I have a great headlamp that I was given as a present so i could just use that....

I think for the purpose of changing rigs and looking for gear on the baot at night it would suffice. I was aiming for a small amount of light to just make things a little easier than using a flashlight but to be honest the amount of night/ealry morning fishing I do could probably only warrant the cost of some d cell batteries for the torch after all. Glad I posted the thread as it seems a few people have really gone all out to explain how and why the voltage issue is such a critical one to think about. Thanks again to all who have contributed.

Very nice mate. I am looking forward to seeing them in action.

Great length of info Jim. Thank you to everyone who has replied. I will do some research into exactly the products I will use and find spec info on the voltage draw. I should grab an alarm battery and do some load testing on that to see how long I would get. Thanks again for the wealth of responses and info posted .

That sounds very similar to what I would like to setup so that is a good bit of info to know that you were fine in your experience mate. Thanks for the reply!

I caught one today and mistook it for whiting. My mate said I was daft and laughed at me. It had massive teeth and almost took my best hard body lure so glad to know the throw back was not worth it after all

Hi raiders, I have been thinking lately about putting some bright LED floodlighting at the bow of my boat and potentially some other lighting in the seated area as well. My question is what sort of regulation would be required to do this? Or maybe a better question is how much can/should you run off the main battery supply without draining it to oblivion? Should I have a secondary? Any info will be greatly appreciated

Awesome!

Hi Raiders, My name is Troy and I live with my wife and dog in The Sutherland Shire in NSW. Just wanted to say a quick hello as I am new to the forums and a relative novice angler as well. I go fishing purely for the love of being away from the madness that surrounds us during our day to day lives and I find that when fishing I do some of my best thinking. I am a DIY-aholic, so anything you can do yourself I enjoy, from home brew to fixing electronic equipment etc etc.... I work in the security industry and have done so for 15 years. Just recently I got myself a job in Oyster Bay so its a blessing to have found a great job close to home and to also have good working hours too. Look forward to contributing to the threads that I can and speaking with you all at some stage. Cheers

Was in the channel up near Lilli Pilli this morning boat before low tide and caught two bream the size of my hand so we threw them back. Awesome day on the water though apart from the wind. First time in a long time but great to be on the water none the less.
