Attwood Marine Portable LED Navigation Light Kit, Bow & Stern, 3 AAA

Overview

This Attwood Marine LED portable navigation light kit is a battery-powered bow and stern light set for small boats, tenders, personal watercraft, kayaks, hunting boats, and other craft that need removable navigation lighting without wiring into a 12V system. The kit uses LED red and green bow lighting and a white stern light, giving boaters a practical way to add visibility for low-light operation, launching before sunrise, returning after sunset, or keeping a compact backup light kit on board.

Each light runs on 3 AAA batteries, with batteries purchased separately. The lights use sealed electronics, a shock-proof composite housing, and a shatter-proof polycarbonate lens, with a rated run time of more than 150 hours. Since the lights are portable, they can be removed for storage, trailering, or use across more than one small craft when the mounting setup matches the boat.

Key features

• Battery-powered LED navigation light kit for boats that do not have fixed navigation lighting or an onboard electrical system ready for lights.
• Includes red and green bow lighting and a white stern light for basic navigation visibility on small craft.
• Each light operates on 3 AAA batteries, so installation does not require routing wire, adding a switch, or connecting to a 12V circuit.
• Sealed electronics help protect the light engines from the wet conditions common around small boats, docks, launches, and spray.
• Shock-proof composite housing and shatter-proof polycarbonate lens help the lights stand up to regular handling, storage, and transport.
• More than 150 hours of run time supports repeated short outings before battery replacement is needed.
• Quick-release mounts make the lights easier to remove after use, which helps reduce exposure, theft risk, and damage during trailering.

Variants

This kit is offered across several configurations that vary by mounting style, finish, and pole style. The range includes clamp-on, deck mount, and all-craft navigation versions, with Marine Gray and Realtree Max-5 Camouflage finish options.

Pole styles vary between threaded and telescoping versions depending on the configuration. The same general purpose remains consistent across the range: portable LED bow and stern navigation lighting for small craft where removable, battery-powered lights are the right fit.

Installation and setup

The main fit decision is the mounting style. Clamp-on versions are useful where a temporary attachment point is available and drilling is not wanted. Deck mount versions suit boats where a more defined mounting point is preferred. All-craft navigation versions add flexibility for small craft setups where the light position may need to adapt to the boat shape and available surfaces.

Before heading out, confirm that the bow light is positioned so the red and green sectors face the correct direction and that the stern light is high enough to stay visible from behind the boat. Battery contacts should be clean and dry, and spare AAA batteries are worth keeping aboard for early morning launches, evening returns, and multi-day trips.

Use cases on board

This kit is a practical match for small craft owners who need navigation lights only when conditions require them, or who use boats that do not justify a permanent lighting installation. It also makes sense for tenders, jon boats, paddlecraft, and hunting boats where removable gear is easier to store and protect between trips.

Because the lights are portable and battery-operated, they are best treated as part of a small-boat safety setup rather than a replacement for a hardwired system on larger vessels. Always confirm that the selected light configuration and vessel use comply with local navigation light rules for the boat type, length, and operating speed.
