Spot Light for Jon Boat #3241157

I'm currently looking at the GoLight brand of spot lights for the front of my boat. For running the river at dark during hunting season, I need a forward navigation light to see floaters and other stuff in the river. Ideally, this would be controllable so I could scan side to side to make sure nothing was coming. GoLight is the only brand I see that offers a hardwired controller for these (wireless for this application scares the %^&$* out of me). This thing has to work or else I could be in serious trouble.


Are there any other brands to consider? Surely someone else makes these?


Thanks,

Do you need one that moves back and forth if you have a light bar that lights up the whole river? I put a nilight from amazon in the 18ft aluminum boat I sold this year and it was BRIGHT.

Ideally, it would be controlled where you could move it back and forth. Just wondering if there was a brand other than Golight.

We did sell one that swiveled but the company took it off the market due to salt intrusion up north. It worked great and was much cheaper than a Golight. I wish they'd get the bugs worked out because the utility companies around here preferred them to the Golight.

I have a Go Light that uses a wireless remote, love it and works great as far as the wireless remote. Only issue I had was the light after a about a year didn't want to power on. During my research it was suggested that the wiring in my boat wasn't the right gauge. Because the light plugs into the bow light slot. Well that didn't solve the problem and Go light wanted me to send it back to them. I got mad and said chit on it and am now looking at a light from https://www.southernliteled.com/ seems their lights would just light up the whole river and swamp.

I have the southernlite LED on my boat. After almost having a mishap down near Demopolis I wanted the brightest thing I could get. I had to move my TM over a little, but it was worth it.

I have the SouthenhLite Gen 3 on the bow of our skiff. Mostly don't use spot, or flood lights for running at night. I really dislike being blinded by a oncomming vessel, but I understand using them if you need them.

I like the light/winch combo. Make it handy getting a deer in the boat or using it to go over obstacles.

I had forgotten that I even posted over here so I apologize. Yes that is what I'm wanting and the only issue would be I'd have to move the TM over some but I don't really have enough room to move it I don't think. I have 2000 G3 16'. But I think that Southernlite makes a mount to raise the light but it costs more not sure, been a awhile since I looked.
