    2021 Freedom 215 nav lights

    In case someone else runs into the same situation, I'll try to keep this thread updated. Grady is looking into my complaint. I've sent them some pictures and figured I would share them here as well. It doesn't look like much but on a moonless night, it really was messing with my night vision...

    Oh, right. If I went that route, I'd still be able to run just the anchor light leaving the bow lights off.

    To be honest, the bow light was so distracting while running that I didn't notice the white light. I'm guessing it's fine though...6' above the gunnel and to the rear of the helm. It might cast a soft glow all around the deck, but not the bright glare like the bow.

    Thank you for the replies! Wrxhoon, that would work well for the anchor light, but it's the bow light that is causing the glare. On the 215, its a dual color flush mounted light, right in the center of the bow. There's a substantial portion of the fiberglass that lights up red and green right...

    2021 Freedom 215 nav lights

    Hi Everyone, new owner here with my first question/ comment. We were running at night for the first time and found that the nav lights are lighting up the top deck of the bow to the point that it made it really hard to see. I was wondering if anybody else has encountered this? More importantly...
