Has anyone done this or seen it done? I’m wondering if there is a way to mount a curved LED bar under pulpit? There seems to be room there! Need it to just spot crab pots when navigating the bay.

for what its worth >> 2007 Marlin>> I mounted a remote control spotlight on TOP of the bow pulpit, forward of the anchor .... this eliminated the glare caused by mounting on the hardtop .... I used a wireless type remote light made by Marinco and am very happy with it . the only wiring I needed was power to the light. I tapped into the Hot lead and ground going to the anchor windlass... I put a small 20 amp auto reset breaker in line, between the hot lead of the windlass and the hot lead of the light. .. The wireless remote is mounted at the helm and controls all light functions ... ( I decided running wires from the bow area to the helm was pretty much impossible as Grady has no chase there ) I am still trying to figure out how to run wires from the stereo to the helm .!!! Again, No chase... It was a lot easier on the older Marlins where the stereo was mounted in the cabin on the same side as the helm.
