ABSTRACT:
A modified port cover which incorporates a light. The port cover can be screwed into a prior art port and provides the same type of air-tight seal as the prior art cover. A bulb is preferably incorporated in the cover's center. A length of cord extends out the back of the bulb. Splicing components are used to splice the cord into the boat's electrical system, preferably so that the modified port cover is only illuminated when the boat's lights are switched on. The cord is long enough to allow a user to unscrew the modified port cover and use it to illuminate areas some distance away from the port. Alternate embodiments incorporate a handle on the rear of the modified port cover. This handle allows the modified port cover to be gripped like a flashlight once it is removed from the port. A hanging hook may be provided to facilitate hanging of the port cover.
