This has never been covered. Even though it might be silly.
Just saying.

How far back from the front of the boat are y'all mounting your lightbar. I want to get it right the first time.

Just looking for a rough distance. Right on the front? 2"? 4"?

4"

Mine is maybe 2" from the front. I can measure when I get home.

Although, if you mount it back any the light reflects of the deck just under the light. So if you're not worried about hitting anything, it would probably be best to mount it as close to the front as you can.

Jb weld and sand paper can take care of random holes.

I'll mount it tonight when I get off the stand and report back tomorrow. I believe I'll put it an inch back.

Thanks.

Aluminum foil under light will fix it
LOOK I MADE IT TO MMT ADDICT

Mine is further back than I thought. I'd mount it closer to the front for sure..

Y'all using teks or nut inserts

I have mine mounted as far forward as it would allow, this allowed me to also use it to bowfish.

I mounted mine a hair back from front just enough back that when get to dock boat hits and not light

As close to the front as you are comfortable with, so it will reflect less light off the boat.

Rode in one the other night that was mounted on his pole plateform and you talk about work great

I'd like to cut my front pipe in boat and recess it in like few people done

Made a light bar rack and raised it up for the pointed skiff issue but it works great .

Here's mine. I used riv nuts and it holds good. The little bit of light that reflects off bow doesn't affect driving.

U got more fishing poles than academy...holy shit.

I mounted mine on my grab bar and wouldn't have it any other way.

I have it set up a lot like how a trolling motor is, I can move it up/down 2' and 360* around. Real handy when running a winding bayou or setting decoys.
Its nice to spin around backwards and light up a dark boat ramp in the mornings too. Can take it off real quick and stuff it under the deck.



The only down side is you passengers are gunna be blind if they look back at you, but fuck em... they can buy their own boat if they want it different.

As far up as I could. Basically behind the round bar.


Sent from my bag phone.

I made an aluminum bracket to protect mine from trees. It also eliminates glare on the foredeck.

I go as far forward as I can without them hanging off or blocking Nav light

You know. , I can't remember exactly. . I will measure this weekend . It is a spot flood spot combo , it is bright though .
