changed e g via operation of control cable 108 of trolling motor 104 the direction of illumination pattern 114 may also change to remain aligned generally in the direction that fishing boat 100 is being pulled through the water via trolling motor 104 alternately bracket 106 may be mounted to the bow of fishing boat 100 along starboard side 118 of fishing boat 100 accordingly mounting bracket 106 may not be aligned along an axis that is parallel to the centerline of fishing boat 100 but rather may be aligned along an axis that is not parallel to the centerline of fishing boat 100 e g axis 120 instead lighting bracket 110 may nevertheless provide a light fixture compartment that may be aligned along the centerline of fishing boat 100 such that when the light fixture is mounted within the light fixture compartment the light fixture may be aligned along the centerline of fishing boat 100 accordingly once light fixture 116 is caused to illuminate illumination pattern 114 may be directed from light fixture 116 substantially along an axis that is parallel to the centerline of fishing boat 100 as the direction of fishing boat 100 is changed e g via operation of control cable 108 of trolling motor 104 the direction of illumination pattern 114 may also change to be aligned generally in the direction that fishing boat 100 is being pulled through the water via trolling motor 104 it should be noted that light fixture 116 may be operational while trolling motor 104 is deployed e g as illustrated in fig1 and light fixture 116 may be operational while trolling motor 104.
