I carry a radar reflector that I can put on top of the radar arch if in heavy
weather. However my trawler shows up fairly well without it--there is an
Alumium roof on the Flying Bridge, as well as a R V airconditioner on top of
that Al roof. The large profile trawler hull also shows much better than a
sailboat hull.
I have a 500,000 CP search light which covers forward well. I have two
50,000 deck lights on the Radar arch which illuminate the aft deck, swim step
and items to the rear. I will be putting several small lights under the
flying bridge over hang to illuminate the side and fore decks when necessary.
