If he is not going to use a trolling motor and the motor is not
electric start, lugging a battery around, just for the light, is
stupid. I have to believe there is an LED solution that will run for
many hours on a small dry cell.


There is, but as previously discussed in this NG, the USCG approved ones are
a bit pricey.

Excellent responses. Thanks. As far as what motor I'm using, I don't
know yet. I probably won't be using a trolling motor. But I haven't
purchases the gas motor yet. So I don't know if it'll need a battery to
start or not. This boat will be mainly for me and the wife to casually
go up and down some rivers here in FL. And maybe some fishing and or
castnetting out in the bay. Not too far out though, obviously.

Eddie bauer has something he might be able to use. It has a magnetic mount,
suction cup mount and velcro mount. It can shine a white light or red/green.
Red and green show 180 degrees each so he would need to partially block the
beams with tape. This thing runs on 4 AA cells.
