hi sanyassi and welcome to the forum. its nice to have yet another member from malta.
it sounds like your light rig is working very well. to save your boat battery you might like to try a small petrol generator. i am not sure about prices in malta but in australia some very cheap generators are becoming available.
a small generator might be more efficient than your boat outboard (especially considering the price of fuel these days). are you just running the motor at idle or are you actually moving while fishing?
at what depth are you getting the squid? are you able to draw them right up to the surface?
cheers, glen <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
