[QUOTE="minuteman62-64, post: 366891, member: 15157"] Thanks, guys, the rationale is now making sense. Looks like the PO's original set up (24" stern pole light), circa 1982, would provide a clear 360 degree shot as long as operator was sitting. However, the stern light would be lower than the bow light and, as pointed out, ruin the operator's night vision. For sure not 1 meter higher than the bow light. Maybe different requirements in 1982? Anyways, I'm going to look to mount the bow (navigation) lights as low as possible, but still clear the point of the bow, and get the longest folding stern light I can find that will be removable and stowable and plug into and be secure in a socket at the stern quarter.
