So, I'm really interested in these, but I'm concerned that my lake isn't clear enough to have a decent amount of light come through...has anyone used these in murky water like you come across in the Midwest??
I have used others in the Mississippi but not this particular one. The ones I had before I think were not quite as brite as this one and I got good light effect in the wake while moving and a little sitting still.. I got one of these and just installed it yesterday so I have not had a chance to try it out yet.

They won't jump out 100', but you will get a nice halo of light out 10'-20' depending on visibility. Even in pretty murky water, I saw better than 10' with my Abyss S1515. I am guessing these will penetrate just about as good, just not as much individual light, so the spread may not be as much. Two of these should have more than a single S1515 however. I just don't know if the hull is level enough on the outsides of the 240 transom to install fairly round and tall fixtures without a significant bezel. But I may have to jump in on this!
So I cant find an installation manual for this. According to the site I just need to drill a 3/8" hole for the main wire and seal it (In the description of the product)? Reading the instructions for S1515, it says to put sealant in the inside circle of the back of the light and to counter sink the holes. There is no manual on their site for the S1800.
