So I have this dinghy. I have a 3 hp electric trolling motor which gives me 3 MPH. We obviously don’t go far in it, but it’s perfect for just running to the beach and back. But next week we’ll be anchoring and running the dink to a restaurant for dinner, and obviously because of the short days, we’ll be coming back in the dark. I tried to do some reading and from what I’ve found, a single white 360 degree light is all that’s required for anything less than 7 MPH. I’m assuming that includes inflatable electric rafts.
As far as safety, I’m not concerned. We’ll have two super bringht LED flash lights, the area we will be in is a no wake zone, we’ll be traveling only about 1/3 mile, and we’ll hug the docks and stay out of the center of the channel until darting over to our anchored boat.
I just don’t want to get pulled over. Maybe I can find a cheap 12v 360 Lili by that I can tape to the top of the trolling motor?
Thanks guys.
