Have not been able to fish much and its already got hot.
I have added a couple things - with my limited use they both are very impressive.

I hate when work gets in the way of fishing.

I also added bow leds - anybody know if these are legal?
I still have the light but these are pretty awesome.

the leds are fine, they will exceed the coast guard requirements.
