Go Light mounting

[plymouthpd]

Thinking about getting a Go Light for the boat and was wondering if its better to mount it on the bow or radar arch? Also any model recommendations? I have a 96' Pursuit 2150. Thanks!

I had a wireless Go Light on my old boat on the bow and have a wired Go Light on the top of my cabin on the current boat. Personally I would go with bow mount but having it on the radar arch might be nice when fishing at night. I seldom use mine where it is as the glare from all the railings makes it tough to see at night. I am either going to move mine or wrap the front railings. My plan is to get a hardtop for the boat and mount it on the hardtop with it set back far enough for the light to not hit the front railings. What ever you do make sure you test the light position at night on the water before you mount it there that is one thing I wish I had done. What worked good in my driveway does not work on the water.

Like Jim says, mounting it on the arch may put too much light on the bow, making it hard to see.

Could it be mounted to the front rail?

Nice looking boat BTW.

Think of it like a big flashlight your vision will always be better if the light is in front of you. While higher is usually better any reflective material will bounce light back at you like a mirror. Now picture driving in a rainy dense fog with your high beams on.

I think theres enough room on the bow. Ill have to pick one up and play with it. Wheres a good place to buy one?
