Answer 1

Go to target and look in the camping section. They have lots of battery-powered lights. Area lights for lighting the boat itself, blinking lights to make sure no one runs you over, some even have fans/radios built in.

You can also get those glow lights, to save on batteries when you just need a little light.

Also, if you need a head-light, try bicycle head lights.

Answer 3

what are you using the boat for i can think of solutions but im wondering  if its going to be a tender or just used for fishing.I see that the rollocks are fixed but they were possibly fitted before the two moldings were attached.Having a battery box fitted and the extra weight may cause difficulty with lifting it out of the water after a night ashore especially if the size of the yacht does not support derrecks.Let me know.

Answer 4

i think it's best askin your local boat company or fishing shops.

Answer 5

You just need a small Perko pole light like the one in the picture on this link. Simple to mount and hook up!

Answer 6

for a small boat this size, Federal law and most state laws only require a single white light such as a flashlight.  You can leave it on or turn it on when you see an approaching boat.    I doubt in a boat this size you are going very far.   Most important is you should have a PFD for each occupant, at night wear them!

The answer to your question can be found in the

NTERNATIONAL REGULATIONS FOR

PREVENTING COLLISIONS AT SEA, 1972

A link to one source of the document is below.

Answer 8

a boat that size would need only a flashlight if you were rowing it, but all powered boats are subject to the USCG requirements, you need a green starboard, red port and all-around white stern light.

you can get battery power navigation lights.  here ya go:

The red/green/white is standard so that everybody knows what they're seeing.

don't *DO NOT* try to come up with some kind of "blinking" light or any other system of your own design, you will confuse all other vessels in the area.

a flashlight with a styrofoam cup over the end would work as the stern light - it just has to be high enough to be seen from all directions.

you are also required to have a sound making device -- an aerosol air horn is fine, or even a whistle.

google USCG rules of the road and learn them.  don't take chances, this is serious business.
