Some may have seen my other thread about me getting my parents 188cc Sailfish and about how my stepdad had a trolling motor 'retro' fitted on the bow. Well with its current installation it blocks the navigation light on the bow. I was going to relocate the trolling motor at a better operating angle and remove the navigation light to put a "post" style navigation light in its place. This would enable me to remove it when it is not needed, but I would still be able to operate legally. Thinking about I would have to drill more holes in the bow I began to think about putting the navigation lights on the side of the helm. My 17'2" skiff has them mounted in this fashion so I was wondering if I could do the same on my SailFish? It would be easier for me and lookg much cleaner on the boat.
Any idea on if this is legal or a possible place to find out if I can do this?
