Changing All Around Light Location
What are the rules for changing the location of the all around light? I have a 28' Scarab, and the light is located about 1 foot in front of the windshield.
Its BLINDING at night. Totally destroys night vision. I want to relocate it to the aft port side. I'm attaching a picture with current and proposed locations drawn in.
Thanks,
Paul

I cant see how that would be an issue... Mine is already in the back... Scarab is actually one of the only boats that I have seen with it in the front like that.

I had to do the same thing to my 95 sleekcraft. It really made all the difference. Do you have the light with the shield on the back side to cut down on the light from blinding the driver?

They make a shield that keeps the light out of your eye's it fit's just under the light it's self. My father's Regal has one....Look in overton's.
I don't like the light on back...it's hard to get to, in the way when docking, and light the entire cockpit for all the world to see.

Thanks for the correction. I remember looking at the pic of his boat and seeing that the stern was significatly lower than the bow. He might need a taller pole to be a meter above the bow lights.

Check out this gizmo - Power retracting anchor light
Kind of pricey, but pretty cool if you've got the room under the hatch...
