stern light recommendations

Can anybody recommend a good stern light for this boat? Preferably LED. I guess it needs to be mounted on a post to get it to regulation height, and with an adjustable base to make it vertical if mounted on the transom skirt.

Hi Dana,

I use an Attwood removable light mounted on the starboard gunwale just aft of the gallows. They have different lengths, I'm using a 24", up to 48" I believe. Easy to get out of the way when not in use and can be changed to a LED bulb quite easily. There's a better replacement bulb available then the one I used originally too.


Take care,

Chris
