I'm wondering what most do as far as a stern light when you are towing a dinghy on the swim platform which obstructs the stern light.
 
Irie- Because out stern light is blocked. We put the dinghy stern light on and we are good to go! Mike
 
light close up.jpgI installed an extra light fixture on the anchor light mast, wired into the running light circuit.
 
On mine I can run both the running lights and anchor light at the same time. Easy. (but it's only legal since my boat is under 40')
 
I'll do like Jimmy, or what I did on my Doral is I jumped the rear portion of the mast light to the NAV position, so no matter what position the switch was in, the front/rear light was on.
