    Most led's will run just fine on 24 or 36v. You can get a trolling motor plug for power and use a ram mount to mount it down. Convenient solution and lets you use cheaper/more lights.

    Figuring out out to attach to my Fortrex is my problem. Haven't figured out how to mount a light and not interfere with deploying the TM.

    BOLT IT TO THE SIDE OF THE TROLLING MOTOR RIGHT ABOUT WHERE IT SAYS MINN KOTA…OR THE VERY VERY FRONT NOSE OF THE BRACKET WHERE IT FORMS THE "V"…OR ANOTHER OPTION WOULD BE TO TAKE THE FRONT 2 BOLTS OUT FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE TROLLING MOTOR MOUNT AND STICK A PLATE OUT OF THE SIDE ABOUT 2 INCHES OR SO...SO YOU CAN BOLT THE LIGHT TO THE PLATE AND THE OTHER 2 BOLTS UNDER THE TM MOUNT… WISH IT WAS EASY TO POST PICS LIKE FB. I COULD DRAW IT UP AND SHOW YOU BETTER THAN EXPLAINING IT..
