| Thinking about ordering a couple and was wondering how the mount worked. I looked at several pictures on here, but none were close enough to see details. What am I going to need to mount the hps lights?

| I drilled a hole through the angel iron on my set up, then put the box on the under side to hold it on there and make the electrical connections.

That mount I would not want on a boat. It's designed to hang on a box attached to a building.
Buildings don't move. Boats not only move, but get pounded at times.
A light mount that breaks can be a real pain if some rough weather kicks up.
The mount breaks, but the wires leave it dangling to get torn up and beat the crap out of your boat.
You want a bail / Yoke mount.
Look at the optional mount for this one.

| So can you take the 1/2"npt mount off and mount it using a U bracket? These were the least expensive lights I saw at $42. Everything else with a U mount is $86

| Those are halogens not hps lights but I guess it doesn't matter. It looks like he made the mounts himself by bending stainless steel and drilling holes into the housing to bolt the mount to. I guess I could do this also, I was just hoping to find one of the inexpensive hps lights with a good base mount on it already. I hate to buy something and then have to drill holes into it. I guess I could drill the holes here and be able to use a similar mount.
