Not sure, but it's been running for 24 hrs a day sense I bought it over a year ago with zero issues

For only a few moments. That is how long it would take to fry the ballast/ignitor/bulb combination!

I'd say about 1-2 seconds. The movement of the boat may be problematic. Also, it is difficult to see the laser in sunlight, particularly at 30' to 50'. This unit has a mode ,however, that can measure in real-time. The number will change as your target moves. This should be handy for your situation. I'd also try to take that measurement at night when the water is calm and the laser is bright. This is a great product, no regrets.Good luck.

Never had that happen before, and I ran it for 18 hours a day for a month. I would get a new one just to be safe. And if the problem continues make sure everything is okay with your ballast. It really isn't risking it with the amount of voltage these things run at.

At least 12 ' I don't have boat close to me to check exactly....hope this helps

I had the same problem. I replaced the bulb. It works for a while. Now it is going off and then back on again. I believe the ballast may be bad.

It looks light this has a sylvania instant start ballast which has a starting temp of -20F. Here is a link with the cut sheet for this model. Hope this helps. http://www.lithonia.com/es8/pdfs/osram%20high%20eff%20qhe%20brochure.pdf

This is a complex answer and frankly more than I am willing to go on at length about without a contract. However, if you Google static and electronic ballasts you will find a lot of info that will help.

Swap the ballast to the other side. If the problem follows the ballast. Then the ballast is bad. Be sure ALL the connections are good including the battery connection.

Had a ballast go bad on my 2003 Liberty, water leaked around the seal. The other ballast is still working. Mounted both under the bumper behind the plastic. Make sure all of the seals seal.

There is a diagram on the ballast that shows just how to install it. There are fewer wires to connect than an old-school ballast. Just follow the diagram and trust it it has never lead me a-stray.

I live in a rural area in FL and have some power surges too, none of the power surges here have caused a problem with this ballast so far, it's been about 7 months, good luck.

If your ballast will handle extra wattage, will be fine. Most likely it will.

I have the system semi-permanently installed in my boat so I had to measure using a string because of the curves. As best as I can tell, it is approximately 86" long (total length including the primer bulb. Hope that helps. BTW, appears to be an excellent system. The fuel line is top-notch. The wall of the fuel line is so thick that I thought they sent me a 1/2" I.D. fuel line instead of a 3/8" line but it was correct. Very happy with it.

I don't know. I bought my ballast replacement simply based on the picture. It matched my current ballast.

Ballasts do not determine kelvin temperature (or the color of the light)......it's the bulbs :-)
