So anyone running silent, do the fish seem at all less spooky than with the genny going?
I've only been out once with mine but it really seems to spook them less. I had alot of close easy shots that I did't seem to get the last couple of years while running a generator. This may just be me fooling myself into believing I made the right move but the silents is worth every penny.
 
They dont seem to spook as bad we have been putting alot more fish in the boat since we switched. They dont reflect as bad and your eyes dont hurt so bad at the end of the night . Mine seem to cast out far enough to see fish farther than most can shoot them cant really think of anything i dont like about my 27s. Love the silence thats gotta be worth any other drawbacks to them.
 
Ive only been out a couple times, but I got into some fish where my buddies genny boat spooked fish. Really muddy water though or it woulda been awesome. The fish glow silver rather than gold with HPS.
I really like my LED, silent is awesome. Im runnin high wattage and big troller with good run time.
 
What is the weight of the 27watters? 50watters? How long will 5-50watters run on 1 12v battery?
You're gonna need a converter or an alternator to keep it charged. I had just one 50w led hooked up the other night to my starting battery and it sucked it dead in just a little bit and I had to leave the charger hooked to it the rest of the night. Not sure how good the battery is but it tested over 75% before I left the house.
 
I kinda like the 27watt but they don't penetrate that deep... Im going to slowly switch out for the 50w
If you want to let 2 go,let me know....they go deep enough for me
 
I'll keep you in mind cody, I just feel I need that extra little bit
:tu: If I wasnt invested in what I have,I would go 50's too,but we dont have night tournies and they work for just piddlin around for me
 
Our water aint never clear enough to worry bout how deep they shine were lucky to get 2 foot and the 27s will go that deep.
Oh yea at 2' there awesome lights, the buffs we shoot are in 3-7' of water. If i didn't like shootin buffs so much I would keep the 27 watters no doubt
