Thanks for the tips . I found a great light on ebay ,take a look . I received it yesterday. It comes with a rubber mount and it's waterproof.Even though it is small it puts out a very bright light. Best of all is the price! :idea: http://cgi.ebay.com/Kayak-Aft-Navigation-Light_W0QQitemZ270266566629Q...

Navigation lights for Kayaks

I was thinking of joining the group on the night fishing trip. Can anyone tell me what kind of lights I need to have. Do I need a red & green light in the front and white in the stern like regular boats?What do you guys and gals use?

The salesman said any skeg repairman for regular boats could repair it.That's a plus. You could not pedal this boat fast enough to sustain skeg damage. I have run into many things, unfortuantely, in my boat over the many years I have had one and have never had to have a skeg repaired. And I would t...

Isnt the native drive between the gunwales? I thought the propeller wouldnt hit as you would drag first. The front of the drive would hit first or the skeg just like a boat motor ...it is also made of the same material as boat motors. Marine grade anodized aluminum /polyurethane housing; tough and ...

Then I can tell you what I really think. In the mean time this what I found on the net for a comparison between the t...
