Temporary Stern/all around light

[ScottM]

1973,
If your batteries are located close by, you can throw a couple alligator clips on a permanent mast-style stern light. Drop the light in the starboard stern rod holder and attach the wires to the battery. It works great as a temporary solution, or in my father's case, semi-permanent. His 23 Sceptre has had this setup on it for 7 seasons now.
