Where to install a spotlight?

" I am going to install a bow rail and it will be painted white to reduce the glare from lights at night ..."

I'll suggest nothing will reflect light more than a white rail, black the least and SS in between on the low side.

Thanks for all of the great ideas . . . and many different options

I am going to get the spot light and temporarily connect it to the batteries

I will then hand hold the light at different places to see where I get the best results

I also plan to install a FLIR and a video camera (so that while working the cockpit we can see what is directly in front of the boat)

Thanks again for all the good ideas

Truly appreciate your input

FLIR is some pretty great technology. Lots of police agencies, Border Patrol, Coast Guard etc. equip their helos with it to help locate the bad guys, border interlopers, boating victims, and several other uses. Recently around here, FLIR identified a house that was creating a very strong heat image; ends up the place was being used as a grow house for a big crop of "wacky tobacky".
