Spreader / Flood Lights on 210 FSH Sport

[jmswashere]

So I have a 2021 210 FSH Sport on the way... and as I am getting everything ready to install (SIMRAD GO9 w/ 3-1 Transducer, SIMRAD RS20S VHF Radio, VHF Antenna, Stoltz Bow Roller).

I am also thinking about installing spreader / flood Lights facing forward and aft from the tower, to illuminate deck and water.

I am thinking Lumitec as their quality and reviews seem top notch.

Anyone have any other suggestions? Also, with the other electronics I am installing, should I consider an additional battery or 2 to handle everything? Also going to install a Motorguide or other brand trolling motor in the future... will cross that bridge when I get there.

Any help is appreciated

You will want to add at least one other battery to the one that comes with the boat. It is not an FSH, but I did install spreader lights on the lower spreaders of our Beneteau for night time docking and just moving around the boat at night around the slip. I used West Marine brand. WEST MARINE Six LED Aluminum Spreader/Docking Light with Stainless Steel Bracket, White | West Marine They have worked well over the last two seasons. Still happy with the results.

Ordered these EXZEIT lights and I was pleased and surprised. They were sooo much brighter than I expected and luminates my entire boat with just one and for a large amount of the water to help driving boat at night. Took him less than 5 minutes to hook up and says best lights of this type, I've ever seen.

I have the same G09 and VHF and never had a problem with the stock house battery after a full day out. I added a solar charger to my T-top after adding a Amp just in case since it can now charge all day while using the boat.

Definitely will need a second battery. With everything running you will be drawing a lot of power. Would you set it up with a starter battery and a second battery for accessories?

Might be worth considering having red lights as well. It’ll preserve your night vision and won’t attract the bugs. Also an EPRB if your going off shore at night.

If your running spotties and it’s bouncing off the white gel coat your not going to see very far. So their positioning is really important.

The FSH 210 already has 2 batteries, starter battery and a house battery, I would upgrade the house battery to be a Deep Cycle AGM however.

Which Solar charger did you get for your T Top?

I got this one and it does the job but does not report charge amps. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072MMDY4F
I want to upgrade to something a little better at some point. The full system is here https://jetboaters.net/threads/210-fsh-sport-solar-charger.34088/
