This happens far too often, running too fast at night. You wonder why no one has ever, at least considered, putting some headlights on boats. I have. My last design had adjustable headlights built right into the hull... Didn't build it yet, but the design is solid... ....for a one acre lake. -- Birther-Deather-Tenther-Teabagger: Idiots All |

They are great for docking, and maybe in an emergency run of the river, but headlights do not work on the water. Maybe to pick up a large boat ahead of you, but the water sucks up the light. I had to come back 10 miles at 5 mph do to a boat problem and was dark as hell as came down the river. Not a whitewater river, part of the Sacramento. And the hand held spot was good for checking how far from the shore I was, and look at buoys, but that was all. |
