Hey group,

What do you guys do about your front (red/green) navigation lights when your
trolling motor takes up the front? I have a 10 inch extended post for my
lights, but it's not enough to get over my new trolling motor, and there's
not enough room for a perm mount off the front. I have been scratching my
head for almost a week now looking at this and that, and no matter what I
see, I'm afraid it will look hokey, which will not do.

I have that triangular piece holding the front together, and was thinking
about mounting some LED's to the front of that piece, any thoughts? If so,
where could I get some that would fit up there? Links? My only
intrepidation about that is when I might bump into stuff with the front of
the boat, it may break them.
Any other idea's for Nav. lights up front?
If it matters, it's a 16.5 Aluminum boat
I've been dying to get this new boat out to some night time bassin, but no
lights!

Thanks in advance for any thoughts and idea's!!

Anybody been doing any good at night lately? If so, on what and where at?

Tight lines,

Doug




MMM...I looked at a few online and they all were 10" tall which you
said was too short.

What I did with my stern light when I raised my seat on my 14'
aluminum boat was go to the hardware store and find a longer tube and
put the base and light on it. It looks kind of funny when it is in
the socket and I am not in the boat but meets the regulations when I
am sitting in the boat. Do the same with your bow light and just put
it away when you are not using it. All you need is some wire, a
length of tube and your in business.


I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it!
