I see you have your Duro's on "backwards" do you find they work better in that direction?
Thats the way I ran mine last year but was wondering how well they would work in the "forward" direction?

I’ve been thinking of turning them around. I’ve only swam this thing once and it was more of a wade than a swim. Have only tried them backward. Had plans of cutting off the small lugs between the chevrons, but they skid fine as is, so I never did.

I like how these turned out too. Makes me feel hip with my kids.
They actually are pretty nice to have at night.

100 WATTS @ 12 VOLTS = 8.33 AMPS
36 WATTS @ 12 VOLTS = 3.OO AMPS
THE STOCK VANGUARD SYSTEM WILL OUTPUT 16 AMPS

THE ENGINE WILL RUN ALL THOSE LIGHTS + CHARGE THE BATTERY

Yeah, I didn’t even run the light bar off a relay. The toggles I have are good for 20a so I didn’t bother. Probably should, but a fuse seemed much easier.

Ok, I’ve got a vanguard 16 with stock charging. Drops from around 15-13.5-14 immediately when I turn the lights on, but stays there as long as the engine is running.
It’s a 21” nilight, all led, the middle portion are spot and the outsides are flood. Those are also 36w nilight led headlights. They were a massive improvement over stock by themselves.
It’s relatively cheap, I believe around $50 on amazon.

What engine in your MAX and what is the wattage of the light?  Are they LED's?   Where did you buy it?  Sorry for all the questions, but it looks like
something I would like.  Thanks. Robert

It is definitely bright, and fun to watch the voltmeter drop as you put it on.

Just an FYI, the nilight 21” light bar fits exactly in the body holes on the front of a max II.
