I want to put these on my BCB PIII – where can they be purchased? Pictures of anyone who has done this already?!
We do not think they are USCG certified. BCB
they look great . you will still need to use the nav lights that came with the boat.
I just found that our this morning….it appears you are correct. Not sure why they arent accepted….still look good though. Thanks BCB and Mark.
BCB, I found this today, please look at this and confirm your thoughts! http://www.bonanza.com/listings/Bow-Led … AnPl8P8HAQ

I thought Bass Cat Boats came with the Nav lights in the rub rail or recessed in the Gunnel? Or is that Ranger boats?
Triton and Ranger have lights above the rubrail that stick out a bit so that they are kind of aimed forward. Some premium model BassCats have the navigation lights at the bow of the boat tucked up under the end of the trolling motor bracket.

Most use the Bluewater LEDs to put in the rub rail. They could help you or send you to one of their dealers for the install. Here is a pic (not a Cat). They look cool for sure.
