Many boaters find exploring underwater an adventure into a whole new world. Whether you are on a night dive or set to explore murky waters, choose the best lighting for safety. For a night dive, consider the number of lumens and the angle of a dive light. In an article by www.scubadiving.com,any light with an average beam angle between 12 degrees to 75 degrees and a lumen output of 200 or greater should work fine for any recreational diving. The beam should be far wider than most torches can produce to prevent a bright spot from appearing. A 90-degree beam should be sufficient for most wide-angle video cameras.   For many safety reasons, having lights underwater on a boat is a must. The lights cast a glow with a lantern-type beam to make your location more visible. Many captains mount lights under the swim step to improve safety when stepping on or off a boat.   Nighttime fishing has become extremely popular. An easy and effective way to attract fish at night is with appropriate lighting. The fish are not attracted to the light itself — they are attracted to the zooplankton that gathers around it.   Color matters when it comes to underwater lighting. The most effective colors are Green light and White light to attract fish to boats, docks, and piers. These colors are brighter and will attract fish from a greater distance. Blue light is less bright and is typically used more for ambient lighting.    In a future article, we will cover deck lights. For safety regarding boating at night, an on-deck spotlight is an essential piece of equipment. Many skippers have been saved from an impending disaster because their searchlight beam lit up an unlit dock, break-wall, or buoy. The spotlight also helps you spot a person or object that has fallen into the water. It can aid in safety when needed to signal other boats.   When shopping for a spotlight, decide if you want one permanently installed or a handheld that can charge from a cigarette lighter receptacle. You can also purchase a battery-operated handheld light.   Golight Stryker Searchlight 12V w/Wired Dash Control w/20' Wire Harness – White One of the preferred searchlights among skippers is the Golight Stryker Searchlight. It comes with a 20' wire harness and has a wireless dash-mount remote option. For broad sweeps with the beam, the searchlight has a 370x Rotation x 135-degree Tilt, with 200,000 Candela Beam Intensity. It is both UV Ray and Saltwater Resistant.   ACR RCL-300 Remote Controlled Searchlight - 12V/24V The top-of-the-line ACR RCL-300 Remote Controlled Searchlight – 12V/24V has feature upon feature with its versatility and ease with touch control. It includes fingertip remote control Point Pad™; up to three remote Point Pad™ units may be installed on the system; surface/flush mount options included. The exclusive XRCiZ™ feature rotates and moves the light assembly every 30 days from activation to keep all bearing surfaces free of corrosion and all electrical contacts functional.   Underwater Lighting Among the more popular LED hull-mounted lights is the OceanLED 2010XFM Pro Series HD Gen2 LED Underwater Lighting - Midnight Blue. XFM models, or Xchangeable Flush Mounts, are exchangeable without hauling should service be needed. The light can be retrofitted into most existing underwater lighting hole cut-outs, yielding immediate benefits of no startup power surge, low heat, minimal maintenance, and improved light output. It offers 7,000-fixture lumen brightness with the 2010XFM HD Gen2 model.   For additional information and pricing on the lighting listed here, go to https://www.clrmarine.com/462m4/lighting.html.     Fair Winds, Smooth Sailing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ To obtain more information about the products and services mentioned in this article, please contact CLR Marine https://www.clrmarine.com/.     Award-winning author Cheryl Kuba has been at the helm for more than 30 years sailing the Great Lakes, with side trips to the British Virgin Islands and St. Maarten.

  Hydro Glow Fishing Lights manufactures high quality, energy efficient, waterproof lights for both above the water and underwater applications.  Hydro Glow Fishing Lights utilize high output LEDs for great fish attracting capability.   S1 Ultra Thin Solar Deck Light Proven Hurricane Tough Body Material: High Impact Polycarbonate Power Supply: USA made High Efficient Solar Panel Battery: Lithium Ion 3.7v/340mah LEDs: 6 USA made LEDs Colors: White, Green, Blue & Red Visual Distance: 500M Working Temperature: -20C (-4F) Life Expectancy: 5 Years Waterproof: IP68 Totally Submersible Size: 4.5" x 3.5" x .4"   SF100G/SF100B - Green & Blue SeaFloor Underwater Lights  The SeaFloor Series of underwater lights are our  "anchored to the bottom" style lights.  This means the light fixture floats so a weight is required to hold the light in the desired location and depth.  The SF100G comes with a 50 foot cord, a 120v to 24v power supply to provide safe current to the light and an array of high output, green LEDs for maximum output and energy efficiency.  The SF100G underwater light is designed to be deployed so the light fixture is floating about 3 feet below the surface.  Because there are no special transformers, ballasts and other parts, there is no need for an electrician.  Simply attach a small weight (about 2 pounds) on the cord, drop it in the water and plug it up.    Installation takes about 5 minutes.  As with all our dock lights, we recommend turning off any other white lights on the dock.  You will be amazed at the amount of fish you will see with the SF100G. Safe low voltage current, very bright and energy efficient best describes theh SF100G, a truely green product.      HG3216G - 4' Long 12VDC Green LED Fishing Light  The HG3216G underwater fishing light is made of deep water fishing.  It is 48 inches long and designed to be deployed right off the side of the boat.  When it submerges to the desired depth simply tie or clamp the cord to a rail or cleat.  The HG3216G features 648, high-output, green LEDs, 20' cord, two amp draw, 4,000 lumen and is virtually unbreakable.  The HG3216G underwater fishing light is perfect for deep ocean and deep lake fishing.  It is commonly used for catching swordfish, tuna, squid, snapper, grouper and many species of bait.  It is also a favorite for deep water freshwater fishing for striped bass, walleye, crappie and lake trout.   HG45 Premium Deep Water Fishing Light  HG45 is very compact, only 5" high and 3" in diamenter.  It is easily stowed in a glove compartment.  The design is for illumination on 4 sides horizontal as well as vertical.  The HG45 is perfect for those overnight offshore trips as well as deep water inshore fishing.  It comes with a 20' cord and alligator clips.  If deepwater fishing is your thing then the HG45.       Specials    Closeouts   Remanufactured    Rebates  

MIAMI BEACH — Nine marine manufacturers were honored for innovative achievement this morning — the opening day of the Miami International Boat Show.   Winning companies received their awards during a media breakfast held at the Miami Beach Convention Center. The Innovation Awards, organized by the National Marine Manufacturers Association and judged by Boating Writers International, recognize innovative products that benefit the marine industry or consumer. The products must be "practical, cost-effective and available to the consumer within 60 days of award receipt." The judges chose the winners from 50 products entered in eight different categories. “There were some exceptional entries this year, and it made the judging process a challenge,” said Zuzana Prochazka, Miami Innovation Awards chair and member of the BWI board of directors.   The judges selected winners for every category, and several additional products were given honorable mentions. In the consumer electronics and software category, the judges selected the NavNET 3D by Furuno USA Inc. NavNET is a multifunction navigation suite available in both standalone and black-box units.“This is a truly game-changing product that sets the standard for the industry,” judge John Wooldridge said. Two honorable mentions were also awarded in this category, which the judges say was crowded with excellent entries. The first went to the HX850S floating hand-held, GPS-enabled VHF from Standard Horizon, and the second was presented to the Satellite Personal Messenger Device, also known as SPOT.   The AirBattens from UK-Halsey Miami was the winner in the Consumer-Installed Non-Electronic Hardware category. According to the judges. AirBattens increases in-mast furling mainsail performance by 15 percent by significantly improving sail shape. An honorable mention in this category was given to the design of the Adaptive Seating & Steering System developed by Shake-A-Leg Miami.   In the Consumer Personal Gear category, the Innovation Award was presented to the Coastal Compact Life Raft from Revere Survival Products.  The H2 LED Dock, Marina and Pier Lights by TouchStone Accent Lighting took home the award in the Consumer-Installed Docking and Fendering Equipment category. The H2 LED cleat light was called a simple, well-engineered and sleek light available in 12-volt or solar versions that mount under a standard 10-inch cleat. The True North 34 from Pearson Yachts/True North Yachts was the winner in the Inboard and Outboard Cruisers category. The judges said the 34-foot True North combines an innovative hideaway tailgate/transom and moveable cockpit seating for a truly unique design. Walker Bay Boats' Airis High-Pressure Inflatable Kayak was deemed the winner in the Inflatables, Small Boats Up to 15 Feet and Tenders category. Constructed using patent-pending AirWeb technology, this one-of-a-kind performance hull design can be inflated to more than six psi, resulting in a rigid and stable platform that is lightweight and compact enough to be carried as a backpack, the judges said. Yamaha Motor Corp. took home the award in the PWC, Jet Boats and Pontoon Boats category for its Wave Runner SHO. Yamaha's SHO features several PWC-industry ‘firsts,' including: A nano-engineered hull that decreases the craft's weight by 25 percent; a no-wake mode that automatically sets engine RPM at optimal no-wake speed; and cruise control. The RPT (Revolutionary Planning Technology) pontoon tube design by Sylvan Marine received an honorable mention from the judges in this category. In the Runabouts and Fishing Craft category, judges presented the Innovation Award to Boston Whaler for its 230 Dauntless. The revolutionary approach to seating in the Dauntless 230 sets it apart in its class, according to the judges. This year's Environmental Award went to the Eco-Star 200 electric boat by Starcraft Marine. The Eco-Star 200 combines access to electrical motors with exceptional maneuverability of twin propellers, all on the popular deck boat platform. The judges considered this design to be a positive step for both the boating industry and use of alternative energy propulsion systems.   Congratulations to all the 2008 Innovative Achievement Award winners from CLR Marine.   We must mention one of the 2007 Innovative Achievement Award winners was the Companionway CloZures.
