 Bow fishing light question. Ok, I am wanting to make a small removable light set up for my 1442 Jon boat. I was thinking of using 3/4in conduit with 5 small tractor style LED flood lights. I want to be able to attach it with 2 C clamps. I am planning on standing on the bow and use the bow mount trolling motor to steer. I have a 25 HP kohler engine for my surface drive mud motor. My question are: 1: would these 5 lights be too much for my motor to keep going and 2: would this be enough light to fish with? I don't want to get a generator. Yes I have bow fished with this boat just not at night. Thanks for the info in advance.

Re: Bow fishing light question. Here's 5 18w LEDs on 24v trolling motor batts. Suits me fine for gigging.

Re: Bow fishing light question.  We don't always have water that clear and that fish was pretty shallow. They're some Kawell 18w floods, they've been tougher' hell and weren't but about $20 each, got em off amazon.
