Deck lighting suggestions for walk around.

[Mike2043]

Good afternoon everybody. I need some suggestions for deck lighting on a walk around style boat. My problem is I do not have a hard top or arch so I have no idea where I would mount them . Looking to do some night fishing this year and would like some lighting . How do you folks mount your lights?

Thanks
Mike

You could put some lights under the gunnels. That would help some. Maybe another option would be rig something similar to a stern light that plugs in on a pole. Someone posted about making a clip-on led spreader light that can be plugged into a cigarette lighter outlet. I think ScarabChris might be working on something like that.

The attwood lights above the steps don't put out much light, btu they do give me an idea. Mike2043, what type of boat do you have? There might be a spot to mount small led spreader lights vertically instead of horizontally. The spreaders I got from Coastal are much smaller and lighter than the standard ones I replaced. They would easily mount in a variety of places, possibly even on the backs of your helm chairs.
