Oct 8, 2019One quick and easy way to update the look of a boat is to replace an old, dated bow light. When upgrading to a compact LED Pop-Up Bow Light from Accon Marine, owners get the added safety of retractable hardware.
USCG-approved for 2 nautical miles, Accon Marine's Pop-Up Bow Light uses high-performance LEDs for longer life, much lower power consumption and no need to ever replace a burned-out bulb. The Pop-Up Bow Light folds down flush to the deck when not in use, giving the boat a more contemporary look while eliminating unsightly protrusions.
Crafted from corrosion-resistant, marine-grade 316 stainless steel for long life, the Pop-Up Bow Light comes with a cut-out template and requires only three #10 screws for mounting. A choice of standard surface-mount, or stud-mount models without exposed screw heads, suit the boat décor and installation requirements. Both versions have an optional waterproofing cup to protect against unwanted water runoff below decks. An online video demonstrates the installation process in an easy to follow, step-by-step format at bit.ly/2e4F0DE.
Measuring just 4" W x 4.4" L, the compact model 210 Pop-Up Bow Light from Accon Marine offers a universal fit using a standard 3.5" mounting hole. Model 211 fits the same cut-out as Accon's popular 204-M light for easy upgrading. American MSRP for model 210 or 211 is $215.48 USD each.

Monaco Energy Boats Could Be Heading to Canada
The 10th edition of the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge (MEBC) has wrapped up at the Yacht Club de Monaco (YCM) and it gives a compelling look at the future of electric boating.
The MEBC was started in 2014 as a competition between university teams who built and raced boats powered only by solar power and batteries. To encourage more participation from institutions that may not have naval architecture or boat construction expertise, the YCM introduced the Energy Class competition. The club supplies the student teams with the same one-design catamaran hull, and each team adds their own cockpit and propulsion system that can be powered by any renewable alternative energy sources, not just solar.
