what size of spot light works well and are you using 1 or 2 of them
for extra visibility as you navigate the water?

I never use a light at night - kills your night vision and causes you to see
only what is in the light. If you will give your eyes a few minutes to adjust
- and keep lights in the boat off, except for running lights, you will be able
to see fairly well unless it is a cloudy night.
