Our 1971 Eastport does not have one and I do not see any obvious spot where one used to be. It only has a bow light and a tall light on the console. Thanks for info.

Earlier models were mounted on the starboard side. This varied through the years on other models. The download count for this now is 1032 Edited by Joe Kriz on 07/24/14 - 4:03 PM

The light is on a short pole on the port side of the console. http://s1195.photobucket.com/user/hea...2.jpg.html Is it illegal in Florida not to have a light right on the stern? The console light is high up, so it can be seen a long ways. (EDIT: [img] does not work in the forum areas. use [url] only.) Edited by Joe Kriz on 07/24/14 - 2:41 PM

It’s now about 12 years since I’ve joined this group. I gave my 1972 whaler to my daughter and sold the 17’. Bought an O’Day 28 sailboat and sailed on Lake Michigan. Yesterday I bought a 2005 130 Sport.

I once got a 150 dollar citation from a Texas game warden for not having a stern light on my 16' aluminum jon boat. It was broad daylight and I argued the point with him but he insisted if the boat is 16' lights are required day or night. Long story short I had to pay the citation. I know you are not in Texas but some of you Texans might not know this.
