Mast Light Blinds Help !

[KC_Sundancer]

-- Install a small plate (1/8" SS or Aluminum plate, for example) under the windshield light so that it extends aft/port/starboard enough to stop the light from shining down on the cockpit. Give-or-take, it would be a few inches long and not quite as wide. Use a piece of cardboard to try it out.

My thoughts too - my father had worked one out for his boat and made dozens for buddies with Sea Rays in the mid to late 70's. Worked great for running at night.

I have the 360* stern light with the non-glare head. In my case, the pole is a good 6' high - it does not glare onto ANY part of the cockpit or my eyes. I can only JUST BARELY tell that it is even on.

That's how mine was Dennis. The only time it became an issue was when the swivel base stripped and I had to run a few times with the light down on the windshield. Then I got blinded!! I ended up holding the base while I drove the boat.
