Anchor light project

[gman1001]

My 98 2300 DV’s anchor light is on the stern of the boat which is just awful. It lights up the whole boat blinding everyone.

I had this bracket made up by a local guy. Painted to match my t-tip and just now mounted it. Really happy. Tomorrow I’ll screw in the Perko light base and run the wires through side the t-top tubing.

Beat $50 I’ve spent. I’d have bought something from a store but all I could find was an el-cheapo thing for more than $50z

So the all around/anchor light will be on the underside of the T-top? Still seems like it would be pretty blinding. I’ll be interested to see how it turns out.

Did you consider mounting it on top of the T-top?

I’m not trying to be fresh but if you’re mounting your anchor light underneath the enclosure, then you’ve created a dome light. I’d suggest a clamp on bracket that attaches to the rear rail of your enclosure and gets the anchor light up and over the trailing edge of the canvas.
