ABSTRACT:
A personal watercraft has a daytime running headlight that illuminates continuously or stroboscopically when the personal watercraft is operating. The daytime running headlight makes the watercraft more noticeable to other boaters. Several embodiments are shown in which one or more daytime running headlights are mounted to the personal watercraft above the deckline of the watercraft and forward of the handlebars of the watercraft. Such positioning renders the daytime running headlight easily noticeable to other boaters even in relatively choppy water. The daytime running headlights should not only illuminate light forward of the watercraft, but should also illuminate peripherally from the watercraft. A linkage mechanism can be used to turn the one or more headlights in the direction in which the watercraft is turning.
