Keep a waterproof marine torch on board for night checks, cockpit tasks, tender use and general low-light boating situations.
Choosing a torch for boating use
A waterproof marine torch is useful for checking mooring lines, lockers, anchor areas, engine spaces and tender landings after dark. When comparing torches, look at beam type, battery format, grip, size, charging method and whether the torch needs to be carried in a pocket, stored in a grab bag or mounted near the helm. A compact backup light can also be useful even when the boat has fixed lighting.
For other lighting needs, compare torches with marine lighting, chart lights and cockpit lights.
Fixed lighting versus portable lighting
Portable torches are not a replacement for properly working navigation or cabin lighting, but they are helpful when you need light exactly where the job is happening. They can be easier to aim into lockers, under seats and around pumps than a fixed light. For night boating, keep portable lighting accessible rather than buried in a locker that is difficult to reach in the dark.
For a more traditional cabin or cockpit look, you may also want to compare marine oil lamps or fixed utility lights.
