All lit up

[Chas0218]

So I decided to install some lights on the old boat I installed a total of 8 deck lights. 6 of the lights are on the deck and two shoot out the back towards the water for netting fish.

The photos I took don't do it justice for the amount of light they put off. There won't be any problem seeing the deck out anything around it. Now I just need to get a couple spotlights for the planer board and rigging.

This shows the location for the 6 facing the deck.

Night view of the deck.

And the 2 facing towards the back.

You'll love it out on the water. Looks great.

Looks good, be nice for the nite bite and the early mornings

That's weekday I'm hoping. I would really like to get up on the river early some morning. We found ourselves fishing late into the evening with next to no light except our rear nav light and cell phones.

Tony at GLP has mast lights that can be rotated around as docking lights or pointed down the tow line.  I bought them but I havent put them on yet.

[Chas0218]

Does he use incandescent/halogen spots or LED?

They are not LED unfortunately.  They are mounted to caps that go over the tree/mast and tighten with knobs like the rod holders.

Red lights would help with night vision!

No, no, no!! That would be a navigational hazard. Never use a red or green light on your boat at night except your nav lights.

 

Just trying to keep everyone safe.

I agree I would use blue

[Chas0218]

These are considered "cool white" which are a blue tint. They only had red and these cool white. Everything on my boat is white and blue and I'm a little OCD so they had to be blue or white.

I too thought about the red and navigational hazards that could be caused.
