Navilight Dinghy Complete...portable nav. lights

For the last couple of years I have been using a Navilight 360° white light with a magnetic base, previously a tow point light on the Yamaha, fitted to my ball cap to get around Burlington harbor after dusk. It is legal for vessels <7 m length and traveling 7kts or less to use that light.

Boat navigation lights are essential when you’re out on the water. They’re essential, but it’s easy to misunderstand their uses and correct placements. If you don’t know the correct placement for your stern lights or know what type of navigation light you need on your mast, don’t worry: we’re here…

Not a problem in the no wake area of the harbor, but I felt we needed a better light set up on the Zodiac to let others know if we are coming or going.





So, to be in compliance at a higher speed, outside the no wake zones, we bought a Navilight dinghy complete so we have a red/green bow light and a 360° stern light with collapsible pole. Their bases will be mounted to the dinghy.




The unboxing, now to mount it.

Installed the lights on the dinghy tonight. Taped the area off and cleaned with acetone and then sanded lightly within the tape.

Thanks, I like it better than the 360° light on my head. Lol

Gotta love the simple solutions!

How long will the AAA batteries power these lights?

Well, depends. I have not tested run time. You can set which/how many leds to light up, especially on the all around white light. The red/green bow light also has a white light section aft on the light, but it would blind me. I guess I will find out and report back.
