Andy135 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 If you're talking about running through the leg of the rail it probably won't be too hard to drill the rail foot and thread the cable inside. Depends if you have good enough access under your bow/pulpit to run the cable to the rail foot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I only use mine for mooring. It’s no use when you’re running (and against the ColRegs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the RIB ‘A’ frame, all the wiring for the nav lights and antenna is run inside the tubes. They have even left a pull cord (mouse) in there in case I need to run more.

Think I’ll put it on the roof though. I will only use it for mooring, so light splash back isn’t really an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do decide to go through the rails, you will need at least one of these Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got one on roof but I use my rail mounted more often... It’s one of these..... not cheap! https://www.tcschandlery.co.uk/marinco-wireless-remote-control-searchlight-white/p14145?gclid=CjwKCAjwwqaGBhBKEiwAMk-FtGx6aQy-sqAuoM0rtW0M74S4-5-hC9CvDrEiI5sM0hwDqtkUAiBw2RoCEAYQAvD_BwE I ordered on and it arrived today.
