I have used a bow mounted flood light that goes in the bow light socket, and finally I decided if there is enough light to see contrasts I am beter off to run with out it. If I know the area I even turn my GPS off because the backlight negatively affects my night vision. Wish I could turn down the back light in the gages too.–Bob La Londe Forums, Free Lures, Product Reviewswww.YumaBassMan.com CNC Molds N Stuffwww.CNCMOLDS.com
