The new 39 Gun at Chicago had the auto pop up bow light when you hit the light switch. :D |

Re: Anyone have an automatic pop up bow light?
Never understood the no spot light/docking lights while running. If it's dark out, I wanna see where I'm going and be seen. What's different between the road and water? A bright white spot light moving around is more noticable than a pretty red/green stationary bow light.
You don't have to point the spot light right at the other boater. |

Re: Anyone have an automatic pop up bow light?
On the Mississippi River, you can use whatever light you want. I understand about the light blinding others, but we use them here to find buoys, Obviously it must be ok because barges do it, and they put reflectors on the buoys anyway. The only other place I boat is in the Ozarks, and I don't use them there anyway. I'm not worried about anything being in the water that I need to see. Maybe I can use them to find and not run into the water patrol there. Sneaky bastards.

Re: Anyone have an automatic pop up bow light?
I boat in cottage country up here.......theres all kinds of things to hit......but mostly people!!......they will go out for a "midnight cruise" in their canoe, go fishing in their tin boat (all without lights of course) or go swimming.....I know the light issue wouldnt be my fault but I dont even want to go there......especially with a perf. boat........I really dont like the idea of night boating at all but sometimes it would be nice not having to go home at 9pm..............doug
