[QUOTE="Poormans Boatright, post: 206635, member: 5870"] Huntinfool, This light doesn't get overly hot, I am not quite understanding what exactly you mean by "hot" are saying the light itself or the heat it creates? Down here we use these all summer long and they work great, as far as bow fishing I would say this type of light would be the ticket. For the rib you mention if by any means you could have it welded, I would go that route, reason being is that aluminum boats flex alot (as you probably know) any screws used for the purpose of securing decks, ribs etc.. will eventually wallow out and loosen up due to flex (giving the type of water you are running in) lakes and streams are more giving than an open Gulf where I am. Make any sense? This is solely based on my experience, so it is not written in stone, just an opinion. Utilizing the space under the floor is perfect, I used that space for my fuel cell and for life jackets etc.. I am also planning to put a flo jet pump under there for a wash down hose, that will be next. Let me know if I can assist in anyway, your friend _ Rod [/QUOTE]
