I love how you always refer to "we" when talking about PCG. Do you have a mouse in your pocket? Haha! It is interesting that the HIN plate was riveted onto the port side of the hull. It must be a pretty old boat because the standard has been on the starboard side since the early 70's. We have zero electrics on our dinghy other than a battery light on a 3-foot long PVC pipe in the next size larger PVC strapped to the transom as a socket to hold it and an all-round light stuck in for night operation. This way the pole can be removed when it is not needed. Usually it has a cheap dollar store garden light stuck into the pipe so folks can see the dinghy in the water when it is next to our sailboat or we are towing it. The fancy marine light usually lives in the plastic ammo box with the outboard tools and spare plug and we can swap it out if we need better visibility. We have no bilge pump -we use a plastic jug with the bottom cut off as a hand-bailer and also a big tile sponge to get the last bit of water out after bailing. It's a folding porta bote so the less crap inside the better when it is time to fold it up and store it on deck. I like your tye-wrap adjustable mount idea. I may use that someday.

LOL, I have commented in a few of the videos about why I am saying “we” and I really don’t know hahahah. I think I am imagining a live audience or something and we are all on this crazy ride together. I tend to put bilge pumps in anything that will be living at my dock just because if it rains heavily for a few days I don’t want to worry about it. On my tender that I used to use with my bigger boat I had nothing on that except a suction cup running light that I slapped on top of the outboard. Check it out; amzn.to/3rTgDnG

wow thanks for watching and commenting so quickly, I think this boat should work out good unless I sink it by mistake
