Tarpon 120 stern & bow lights

[Beau Stiles]

Wondering how and where to mount bow and stern lights on a Tarpon 120 without drilling into my kayak? Also wondering what this is for:

The groove that you are referring to is where the optional rudder will rest. See the image here: Tarpon Rudder

As far as mounting lights with out drilling I think you options are limited to something with a suction cup like this Multi Strobe Light.

If you're planning to operate a kayak at night, the traditional red/green bow lights are a REALLY BAD idea. Kayaks are slow moving craft, so lighting one to powerboat requirements could get you run down by someone thinking you have manueverability and speed.

Go with a traditional white light visible from 360 degrees. powerboaters recognize the fixed white light as a vessel at anchor and should steer clear.
Here's my favorite, made by kayakers for kayakers. The VISIPole from YakAttack

Thanks for your help.

check out Kayalu products. They are a fairly new company and have a pretty neat light. Just put one on my Tarpon 120. Got a photo if you are interested.

I like that Visipole, especially the Jolly Roger Flag. Need to get a Scotty mount. Thanks for all the advice guys. Check out my pics from the last trip.

You can put it in a Scotty or just slip it in a rod holder on your crate. Either way works well. I like having it on the crate so it's tucked closer to my back and is out of the way when I cast.

Think I'll get the scotty mount and put it on my back slidetrax. It'll be out the way there. Wish they sold them on Amazon.
