light and flags

[maccayak]

Found these on the US Hobie site, look like handy yak lights. Would they be OK in Australia or does not really matter. I am interested in the ram mounted one.

Maccayak Great minds think alike i have been in discussions with Luther from Yakattack.
Here is the following correspondence between myself and him.
Sounds great James!

If you guys decide to get together and make a bulk order we can probably
save you even more on shipping!

Luther your a champ mate I appreciate
the time and effort you have put in to help me and will be letting my mates
know of this unit as we all fish from our yaks and this is a great and
simple solution to highlighting our yaks on the water.


Hi James,

Yes, we can ship to Australia for $10

Ping me again in a couple of weeks. We should have the RAM ball ready.

Thanks!

Neat looking unit and the sock/flag is a clever idea. I must be blind but I didn't see any specs for the light size (watts, lumens etc).

Wouldn't mind a close up look at one.

[Bigyakka]

How much for the whole thing babalon? I'm pretty interested

[Babylon]

bigyakka should be around $110.00 aust dollars if we can get a few
mayby alittle cheaper.Cheers Babylon also babalon

[maccayak]

I am interested, especially in the ram mounted one. Seems to get a good amount of hours out of the batteries and I would probably gey rechargeables anyway.

Cheers Geoff

These units look pretty nifty but $110 is a bit steep for a light, but they do look good and portable.
I just fitted a 12v, LED allround white light, looked around on ebay etc, got it at BCF for $65.00, stainless steel, adjustable to 48", i mounted it off the black rudder adjustment lid on the PA via a junction box, with a switch, drilled a small hole in the rear (top ) of the cargo area which i fitted a cable gland to, i am going to run all my wiring to the rear 8" tackle box that never gets used on a Hobie. Looks the goods and keeps everything neat, all up about $80.

Can you show us the pics Bill. Lighting seems to be one of those things that gets overlooked or done 100 different ways. I just want a light that are simple, and no wiring as this is what always lets them down. I thought these looked good, and they had good reviews. They must be good as they are made in the US of A .

Early days,

Pics Bill.

when Luther e-mails me back when there ready i will be getting ram mounted one with brackets
as i cannot be bothered mucking around trying to make something that will be a disaster and then have
to by something anyway.Cheers Jim
