I like to night fish, or at least hang out an hour or two after the sun goes down. But I always have a fear about hitting something (floating log etc) or someone (w/ no nav lights on).
The best solution is to provide more light. I'm trying to figure out what would be best.
The easiest solution would be just hold or mount a spot light. I've done that before, but thinking it would be awesome to really light up the night. Problem is you need a lot of power.
I don't want modify the boat ( screw down lights everywhere, pull new wires everywhere etc ).
I have a Honda 2000 that doesn't get run enough in the summer anyways. I was thinking I could buy a couple off-road spot lights and flood lights then mount them on a portable tripod. Then I would run them off the 12 volt 8 amp battery charger on the generator (in case it rains to prevent sparks )
Has anybody ran stuff off of the charger before? Anybody ever try something similar? Is this idea dumb?

Looks like you could use a FM hat. 😉
The future son in law prefers the lump coal. He’ll start it in coal starter over a propane burner, then dump in it his smoker grill as needed.
Congrats on the clean break “over there”.
Should really start a What yeah Smoking thread!
Another fun place we tried when up in Duluth.
OMC stands for "Oink, Moo, Cluck"
They serve pork cracklins for starter to test their sauces on.
