FCT3 Tower lights

I have an FCT5, here is the only shot I could find, and while you really can't see anything it does show how sneaky and low profile they are, 3 rear and one large forward. Not that it applies in my case due to seakers and bimini... but you're not hitting your head on these. Just started raining so no lake this weekend, should go next weekend and get whatever shots you'd like.

Nautiques4life, you have a nice and clean looking setup. looks like you have a 12" +/- light bar facing forward and two separate lights on each rear corner. Does the 12" front light bar put off enough light? Did you wire all the lights into an existing light dash switch?

There's actually 3 rear- if I remember right the rear are wired on the overhead switch and the front is on the docking lights switch. I had the stock team edition docking lights on my '05 this is 10x better... Way brighter.

I have the FC3 tower with the Roswell C2 lights (a pair of them). Yes - my tower already had the wiring in place and there was also a hole drilled on starboard side. Wired to a switch near helm 12v and Aux plug... Sorry, not the best picture of them.

not to highjack, but I'm just curious if anyone has installed one of the larger off road LED bars on their tower? I just picked up a 50" 28,800lm Auxbeam that I am going to try out.

...but are you sure that's gonna be enough?

Ha! if not, black oak makes one with 5w Osram chips that puts out 55k lm

pSchwade, a few weeks ago I purchased Qty 1- 20" Auxbeam LED bar (facing forward) and Qty 2- 4" square LED lights (rear facing) and mounted them on the tower. I ultimately drilled holes to mount the 20" forward facing bar and I used 2 tower clamps to mount the rear facing 4" lights. I purchased them off of Amazon and they have great reviews and a very fare price. I used the tower wire that was pre-wired in for lights and installed a switch in the breaker compartment. The lights are extremely bright and I am very happy with the end result. See pics for details. Note: some of the pics are when I initially mounted the lights but prior to me running the wires in wire loom, etc.
The 55" bar you are installing will be extremely bright!! I am all about bright light but that would almost blind anyone looking at your boat while the lights are on (oncoming boats, people on dock etc). It may be an overkill IMOP. Either way, please let me know how it turns out for you.
