If you could use some super bright white LED's, it would help to save
the batteries, and if correctly designed, it should be good for 2
mile visibility.

They do exist for anchor lights, and I believe at least one has been
certified. Still too expensive for me, but the prices will come down.

Just saw a 30 LED flashlight for $10. I paid about that much a couple of
years ago for 3 LED flashes that we use all the time.

I just did a google search for solar anchor lights .. there are a bunch of
them.

I think one was around $50.

Not bad, it isn't all that big a light so it could be hung up somewhere
during the day and then hoisted up the mast at night.

Any Dollar General Store has a VERY nice Westinghouse crank-to-charge, 3
LED emergency flashlight that is very nicely made with wide nylon gears and
Ni-Mh battery pack for the princely sum of $10! 90 seconds cranking nets
90 minutes of light. It looks like a rechargeable razor, about the same
size. The light output is nicely focused into a beam with 3 lenses in the
end of it.

I see Waste Marine has the crap shaker flashlights by the cash register,
today....for some God-awful price. How sad....

The 25hp 4-stroke Merc outboard was only $3,125! No boat came with it,
though....?? If you sell complex outboard motors, shouldn't you have a
SHOP to fix them??
