My buddy and I just went to the Yellowfin factory a couple of weeks ago to discuss what options we wanted on a 36'. We chose to go with 4 underwater lights 2dn & 2 aft. As Wiley explained to us the aft lights seem to attract more baitfish but will be partially blocked by the motors, however there will still be a significant glow. I do not remember what brand of lights, but they cost approx. $700 each. My .02....

I have done my research & it appears that duralume are the best out there. They are about $700 each. My brother has one mounted on the transom & it is more than sufficient. I personally prefer on the bracket if available that way they are on an angle.
