Morning folks. Got a quick question. I'll be mounting my navigation lights on my 1752 Weldbilt this weekend and was thinking about mounting them on the sides of my center console for two reasons. One, it will keep me from having to run wire behind the gunwales to the front, and two, having the trolling motor mounted on the bow won't allow me to mount a bi-color light.
I have read FWC's and USCG's regulations on lighting requirements and saw nothing about placement. That being said I have seen several boats including Leon County's dive boat that have their navigation lights on the center console. I'd hate to get these things mounted and have to move them. So can anyone shed some light on this subject?
