a eight to ten foot pc of pvc with a t joint on the upper end will fit right in an upright rod holder on the console with a led light on top of it .
cheap .bright . and not in the way during transit ......

What size wire, stranded or gauge? Should I wire to trolling motor batteries or add independent battery, what size?

[DockShootinJack]

16 or 18 ga should be plenty for LEDS. If you have an amperage for the light you are going to use I will look up the wire size for you. They don't draw very much. It would take a long time to run down a trolling battery with an LED light.

Here is what I used on my previous pontoon. I will probably hook them up on the new one as well. Cost $40 for the pair on Amazon.

Should be plenty bright

How long will batteries last, with 3.2 amp draw. Could I connect on 24 volts (trolling motor batteries). Would 24 volt connection be better than 12 volt.

[DockShootinJack]

3.2 amp hours. Depends on the amp hour capacity of the battery. A long time.
