Thomas (and others following along): Navisafe are powered by AAAs. The manufacturer states that "Rechargeable batteries have a lower voltage (1,2 V) than regular ones (1,5 V), and the USCG 2NM approval is only valid with regular batteries." :: Dave Scobie :: M6'8" #650 :: SV SWALLOW - sv-swallow.com :: former owner M17 #375 SWEET PEA - m17-375.com :: former owner M15 #288 SCRED - www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred/ On Tue, Oct 20, 2020, 10:38 AM Thomas Howe <Thomas@thomashoweonline.com> wrote:
The NaviSafe light look like just the ticket. What powers them?

As MikeZ wrote the quick, easy and cheaper way is the Navisafe LEDs. Bright and USCG Certified.
Need two things:
The first is the Dinghy/Skiff kit -

Mount the transom/vertical bracket on the inside of the transom on the far starboard side (away from the motor and clear of the tiller) and use the sticks to get the light up. Set light according to how going: 125 to stern for sailing, 360 for motoring and anchoring.
For the bow get the rail mount -

Mount the bicolor light up front.
I used this setup on the Sage 15/SageCat.

12 volt systems are pretty heavy for a 750 pound Monty 15.
I have Navisafe lights. Nice compromise for a 15 and about any kind of mount you could want.
