Abstract: A stern running light is pivotally attached to the mast of a shallow water anchor system thereby avoiding the need for a separate stern running light. The top end of the mast holds both a pivotable cluster of LED lights that emit light in a 360 degree horizontal plane and, below it, a flood light in a clear plastic housing for task lighting within the fishing boat to which the mast is attached. A power cord for the stern runs to the battery for the mast from the stern running light and flood light. The mast of the shallow water anchor is at a height suitable to meet stern running light height requirements and the use of white LEDs meets light visibility requirements.
