Jet Ski Stern Light

[Rich]

Dan,

I'd be interested in seeing what you came up with.

I did a bit of research on this myself, and want something that will stand up to the rigors of the ski and not be too ugly or weak.

I didn't want to use a lof of the 'clip on' types of red/green lights as most of them are rated at a max of something like 6 mph and are made for slow moving things like paddle things like a kayak, etc. My reasoning is I didn't want to have potential problems. I may design and 3D print a mount to handle a USCG rated bow light.

As to the stern light. I talked to the Marine patrol, and they warned me to be sure to clear the tops of the heads of both the pilot and any/all passengers. I was thinking of adding a clip in stern light and it could be stored under the seat when not used. Similar to how many small runabout's do it.

And the same as you, only for when/if we get caught out too late or at dusk. I'm usually careful about this, and have programmed the sunrise/sunset time into my navigator, but sometimes we're out enjoying the day and sometimes the daylight sneaks out on us, especially on those warm summer nights!
