Christmas decorations?

[Just Limin']

Yes, I know this is awfully early to ask, but, we are now at a Yacht Club marina in Florida. We understand that they take the lighted boat parade at Christmas very seriously.... As new members, we want the only Ranger Tug to look great. Suggestions for lighting, decorating appreciated. Happy Holidays 🙂

We have our R31 in Fort Myers Beach, FL during Christmas where there is a major lighted boat parade at Christmas. Although we have not yet participated in the parade, I think we will this year.

In talking with past parade participants, those that have boat generators simply use normal, household 120V AC Christmas lights. Or, you might be able to run those 120V AC lights off the inverter if the load is not too great for too long. However, I don't like anything to do with 120 volt AC around water where a light string might accidentally get dipped in the water.

Some boaters have bought 12V DC Christmas lights to use. This is what I plan to do. See this link for a product reference:

Here is a BoatUS article about how to safely light up your boat for Christmas:
