This graphics should clear up any issues regarding legallity (although it's a bit of a dodgy image so appolergies)

Most of our lights over here are of the submersible type.
They started of with the "bell jar " type which never seemed to work as promised and corroded easily.
However now ,with the sealed units and even LED submersible types, it seems to have solved the isssue.
The still recommend disconnecting your plug from the tow vehicle though when launching so the cold water on contact with a lit unit does not damage.

Do have running lights on trailer frame but never get submerged , so cheapie bulb fixtures work equally well.
Would hate all that routine of putting a light board on

Oh ,and check out West Marine for some submersible products

The LED ones seems way too expensive though

Is a very nice looking outfit Dal. When's that A frame arriving?

limeydal · 17 August 2005, 03:11

Already installed .Picture of it below, (but it shrank when I got it wet)

Actually really would like an A frame but feel it would get in the way when fishing/tubing/photographing etc. (also couldnt get it in the garage) So have to be content with my mini version I made

It's good for my Nav light and flag, so solves a couple of my needs.Also folds down for storage;
cheers Dal

looks like a neat solution to me...

you put more effort into that than i did the piece of 2 x 1 that i lashed to the back of my seat on my old RIB.

And he didn't make his son hold it in place all the time

Anyone know of a supermarket that has orange carrier bags? Those prop bags are quite pricey :-)
