a quick question on navigation lights... I have a wake tower on my boat and was wondering what is the minimal height it has to be? does it have to be higher than anything on the top of the tower and by how much? my light on the tower is about 8" high but now I rolled the speakers to the top, tall kids kept bumping heads on speakers below tower, and the light is just maybe 2" higher... is that high enough or do I need a taller light? thanks!

The white light (which is what I'm assuming this one is) has to be visible 360 degrees ... so if you can see it all around the boat, you should be okay. If that height difference is blocking it from say 10 - 25 yards away, you may want to raise it up a little.

think that's right. My Trojan F26 has a hard top with the light on top, can't be more than 10-12"
