Has anyone modified a pulpit to move the anchor back a foot or so to allow a spot light in front of the anchor. I have tried several ways to stop the glare from the rails. I know this would cut a slot for the anchor to stay under the pulpit.
 
It needs to go on top of the rail. Your way will get torn off with ground tackle.

I suggest Go Light 2020....Buy it from a 4X4 shop.....It will be cheaper.
 
mount it on the top of the rail works great

go to larson electronics they come in 3 sizes just ge the one that fits

I put a 10" rigid light bar on top of the rail of the pulpit, purchased the "over-priced" mounting brackets from rigid, but that allowed me to get it mounted without too much hassle. One bracket on either side of the rail....no glare.
 
I certainly love these new rigid LED light bars, I put one on my zero turn mower, lol. But for mounting on a Boat as a navigation aid, I would go with something like the 2020 Wart mentioned or some other type of remote controlled light that is able to adjust position with a remote. At least where I run, you need to be able to move the light to spot next channel markers and other times shoreline etc... JMO.
 
This is what I did to stop glare, especially with the popular West Coast (tall) bow rail. On my 2016 I had a single remote Go-light mounted front centerline on the roof that threw a terrible glare on the pulpit. On my 2017 2820 I bit the bullet and mounted a remote controlled Go-light on each front corner of the roof. Yes 2x the cost, but zero problems now with glare, 2x the light, and comforting to know I have redundancy in the event of a failure. I think my next purchase will be a FLIR, should have done it when I purchased the boat.
 
I'll get some pics next time I'm at the boat. While you can sync them to operate in tandom off a single remote, I kept them separate so I can position each as needed. Thanks

Agreed, I also have a remote controlled spot light for this purpose. Primarily use the rigid when I'm navigating a nasty inlet in the dark....I like seeing what's coming..
