Just wanted to add some lights on my tower. For docking and night surfing.
Don’t know why my 2017 Nautique hasn’t.. so I would like sometimg that can rotate front and back.
Seeing your setup could help me see what I can do.

I have a Nautique 210. I was hoping to have the Roswell C2 and put 1 pair each side of
My center light but they don’t produce them Anymore..
Want something not too big and looks like OEM.

Thanks

This is my boat. I know Its 16 years older than yours but this is what I run.
I have two pods facing in front. my old boat had a 50 facing forward and I personally like the pods better. I used to have a 50 facing rear from the tower on my last boat and it blinded the rider, so on this boat I mounted it on the rail right above the swim deck and its been the best rear light set up I've seen or road behind. Doesn't blind you what so ever and you can see the wake so clear. My Riders usually wear Glow in the dark necklaces or bracelet for extra safety but it is a killer time at night. I also have a blue drain plug light under I run as well

Here is my setup on tower lights, just a smaller LED light that came factory on the boat, 1 forward and 1 rear facing on each side. They don't put off a ton of light, but good for docking at front and perfect for night surfing since you can point them at rear corner (they swivel). I also have a blue light just above my swim platform, but no underwater lights. 2nd picture is a buddy of mine surfing on Lake Norris this summer, first time night surfing and I was surprised how perfect it was and decided I did not need underwater lights added after seeing this in action

Thanks !
I have underwater lights on so don’t really need to light up the wave. The Roswell night wave push so much lights it’s crazy haha.. but you pay the price.
It cames on my boat but definitely a great pos for night surfing.
The cons is it light up the water, for the rider it’s really great we see everything so clear but for the driver instead it’s kind of hard since it’s just the wave that glow.
Like Jared we all put some glow stick around our neck or hands for better vision but just a little more light will just be perfect.

And D your last picture is awesome! Like you said when you see that it’s kind of hard to say that you need a 900$ Pair of underwater lights for night lol..

That’s a shoot from last summer.
Like I said for the rider is really awesome, but for the driver we barely see him!
Later this summer I found a good trick tho, lighting up my tower speakers courtesy light on straight white instead following the beat on RGB helped a little bit haha.

We have installed the vision X solo prime lights on our last couple boats and will be installing them on our new boat as well. They are a 2 inch light with a single 10 watt led and are the brightest light I have found in it's size. A dimmer is available with them as well so you can adjust the output. Here is a pic of them on our last boat. I used tube clamps from diy wake to mount them to the tube tower.

I’ve got the Roswell like you mentioned with the 4 lights. I’d phone around and see if anyone has any in stock

Another option would be to use some Rigid Lights you can get super bright ones and have tons of options.

Basically I just bout a clamp like this that was for the right size bar and welded a little tab on it. One of a kind but the light output on the wake is killer and doesn't blind the rider.
