lew Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 I do alot of fishing well after dark and it's sometimes awkward getting the boat back on the trailer in the pitch black, or even getting the trailer backed in straight when you can't see the ramp, specially when I'm fishing alone. I've been looking around for some sort of portable light to attach to the roof of my truck to illuminate the ramp and surrounding area while I'm backing up the trailer and found this one in CTC this morning for $40 and it looks like it'll be perfect for the job. It's about 8" wide, has a strong magnet to hold it to the roof, 20' of cord to reach the lighter socket and is extremely bright. Could also be handy around a dark campsite too. Just thought some may be interested in it for the same reason as me. I have a lighter socket in back of my truck which makes it very easy.
Smokey Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 Great idea and I notice the fireman in you coming out with the extra extinguisher.
Gerritt Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 That is handy Lew!! thanks for the heads up! G
RangerGuy Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 Great Idea Lew! I've been looking for something like that for a long time.
Cookslav Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 Thats a great Idea! All I have is a heavy dudty flash light...it'll work but not like that!
Joey Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 What a super idea Lew. I think we have one of those lying around in the garage too. Looks like Pauly's got a new project Joey

Bernie Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 I always thought you went to bed before it got dark. How else do you get up at the crack of dawn?
Mike the Pike Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 I always thought you went to bed before it got dark. How else do you get up at the crack of dawn? No Bernie Lew finds use for it after 3am I want one too Lew.
LundGuy Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 I just put the wife in the back of the pickup with a 1,000,000 watt flash light and she lights up the whole lake for us. Actually I have something similar on the back of my truck,turn it on and off from my dash,good idea.
