Nav lights on a skiff

I have an aluminum skiff ("cartopper") that I want to run at night, so I
need to put some nav lights on it. the front is no problem: deck-mount
red/green on the little "deck" at the bow. But the stern light...
It's supposed to be white, visible 360 degrees. But that would mean a VERY
tall pole, that would get in the way were I ever to catch a fish! So what
do you guys do on inflatables, Whalers, etc. with nav lights? Removable
pole? Fold-down? Short one and live with the visibility problems?

Lloyd, lots of bassboat drivers obtain a fiting that allows them to
mount the white stern light right on top of their outboard motors. The
motor adds to the height, and the light can be unplugged and stowed when
not needed.
