how you guys useing them

not sure what you mean, either. need a red and green visible from front and sides, and a white one in back visible 360, 18" higher than the front light, i think. but that's kansas and different size boats have different requirements. my setup has the recessed sockets and i keep my light poles stored under the deck, and all are wired to my switch panel

I have the clamp on flashlight type you can get at Wal-Mart.

I used a large battery box & a small deep cycle marine battery to wire in lights on my jon boat.
Here are some diagrams & pics:

Found this on a search and had a question. Are you attaching the green wire from the top left post to the inlet + on the left?? I see a hump where it crosses the red, but is that a connection?? Or does it just go from the top left to the outlet wire to the anchor light?? Thanks.

No connection at the red.
It's just a jumper so when the switch is in that position only your anchor light will be on.
