ABSTRACT:
An outboard-motor-mounted safety light apparatus is provided for an outboard motor and includes an electrical lamp assembly, an attachment assembly for attaching the electrical lamp assembly to an outside housing of the outboard motor, and an electrical power connection assembly for connecting the electrical lamp assembly to an electrical power source. The electrical lamp assembly includes a wire grid assembly for protecting the electrical lamp assembly from damage due to impacts upon the electrical lamp assembly. The electrical power connection assembly includes an electrical conductor assembly connected to the electrical lamp assembly. An electrical connector assembly is connected to the electrical conductor assembly for connecting the electrical conductor assembly to the electrical power source. The electrical power connection assembly includes a dual electrical connector assembly which connects both the electrical lamp assembly and the safety lights, at the rear of a boat trailer, to a common electrical power source. A light flasher assembly is electrically connected to the electrical lamp assembly, for automatically causing the electrical lamp assembly to emit a flashing light under predetermined conditions. The light flasher assembly includes an outboard-motor-speed responsive switching assembly electrically connected to the electrical lamp assembly. The outboard-motor-speed responsive switching assembly is electrically connected to a tachometer which signals outboard motor speed and sends a signal representing outboard motor speed to the outboard-motor-speed responsive switching assembly. The electrical power source battery on a boat which supports the outboard motor.
