Marine Navigation Lights All watercraft operating at night are required to display navigation lights between sunset and sunrise.   Port sidelights are red, starboard sidelights are green and both shine from dead ahead to 112.5° aft on either side. Stern lights are white and shine aft and 67.5° forward on each side. (The sidelights and stern light create a full circle of light.) A yellow Towing light must also be displayed on the stern when towing and it will shine aft and 67.5° forward on each side. All-round lights are white and shine through 360°. Masthead lights are white and shine from 112.5° on the port side through dead ahead to 112.5° on the starboard side for a total of 225° forward. They must be above the sidelights.

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.

Safety First when it comes to Trailer Lighting   Safety is important, not only on the water, but on the road going to and coming from the water. If your trailer is more than a few years old, most likely you have had or are having some issues with the lights and the electrical system on your trailer. Fortunately, most issues are pretty easy to fix.   The first thing to do is to test the lights by hooking up to the vehicle harness and checking all lights to make sure they are bright and working. If any are dim or not functioning, connect a tester to the vehicle harness to see if there might be an issue with the electrical source. Cleaning the connectors of the harness on both the vehicle and trailer side is critical, and can easily be done with a can of electrical connector spray and a fine wire brush. Also, clean the ground contact and tighten the ground wire.   Make sure to check the ground screw and replace it if it is corroded. Most bulbs are easily replaceable by simply twisting them to remove and install them. You can also clean up corroded sockets by gently sanding away the corrosion with fine sandpaper. It's possible you may have to replace wiring, which can be purchased as part of a complete kit that includes new lights, connectors, and lenses. We suggest if you do not have LED light on your trailer to switch over to them. Led lights are brighter, more efficient and has multiply bulbs so you will never have a taillight completely unlit if one bulb burns out.   CLR Marine carries trailer lights and lighting kits, which are complete with license plate holder, wiring and side lights. Along with any other trailer accessory you may need.       Specials   Closeouts    Remanufactured    Rebates
