[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 243057, member: 6937"] Haven't tried them out yet, at least not on the water. I tried them out with the boat sitting on the trailer in the yard last night, the beams seem to be level and aligned with each other. I'm sure they will work good out on the water. As far as my concern about amp draw on the rectifier/generator, I looked at the specs in the manual, and it says the output is 14-16 amps at 6,000 RPM. The prow lights draw a little under 5 amps each. And as I said before, I'm using LED bulbs in all my gauges, and in my nav lights. That's 5 gauges with a .1 amp draw, a nav light with a .1 amp draw, and a stern light with a .1 amp draw, so, all the gauges and nav lights add up to around 1 amp. In other words, the charging system of my engine should be adequate to run all my lights, so, I'm good to go! [/QUOTE]
