Frequently Asked Questions About Electric Bikes

1. What marine accessories does Omaha Sports & Games carry?

Our marine accessories collection includes underwater boat lights, marine LED light bars, satellite TV antennas, maritime satellite internet systems, electric outboard motors for kayaks and small boats, forward-facing sonar mounts, night vision boat cameras, and satellite weather receivers. We carry trusted brands including KVH, Shadow-Caster, HEISE, Bixpy, Garmin, BoatEye360, and FORESIGHT.
2. What are the best underwater lights for a boat?

It depends on the look and brightness you want. The Shadow-Caster SCR-24 Round Underwater Marine Light is a professional-grade option that delivers up to 7,500 lumens from a compact bronze housing. It’s available in single-color, dual-color, and full color-changing versions. For a slim, multi-color option, the Shadow-Caster Color Caster Extended Underwater Light offers 12 selectable colors in a low-profile 316 stainless steel housing, which works well for boats that are trailered or kept on a lift.
3. Are underwater boat lights just for looks?

Underwater lights are popular for giving a boat a striking look at the sandbar or marina, but they’re practical too. They improve visibility around your hull when docking or anchoring at night, help other boaters see you, and are well known for attracting baitfish and gamefish after dark, which makes them a favorite among night anglers.
4. What should I look for in a marine LED light bar?

Look for a fully sealed, waterproof housing, corrosion-resistant hardware for salt air, and a beam pattern that fits how you’ll use it. HEISE marine light bars, like the HEISE Dual Row Marine Curved LED Light Bar (42") and the HEISE Dual Row Curved Blackout LED Light Bar, are designed for T-tops, towers, and hardtops. For extra style, the HEISE Infinite Series 40" RGB Backlite Light Bar pairs bright white spot lighting with app-controlled RGB backlighting in millions of colors. It has an IP67-rated housing and 316 stainless hardware. HEISE bars also work well for off-road builds, so they pair nicely with our off-road accessories.
5. Can I watch satellite TV on my boat?

Yes. A stabilized marine satellite TV antenna keeps the dish locked on the satellite while your boat moves. The KVH TracVision TV6 is a 24" antenna that supports DIRECTV, DISH Network, Bell TV, and Ku-band services worldwide, with system control from your phone or tablet. For DIRECTV HD programming, there’s the KVH TracVision UHD7. Larger vessels needing extended range can choose the TracVision TV8, TV10, or HD11. A subscription with your satellite TV provider is required.
6. Do you carry satellite TV for RVs?

Yes. The KVH TracVision A9 is an in-motion satellite TV system built for RVs. It delivers live DIRECTV or DISH programming while you drive or camp, with a low-profile dome that’s just 5 inches high. It’s available in a roof rack mount or a direct roof mount version. For more ways to outfit your rig, browse our outdoor gear racks and camping equipment.
7. How can I get internet on my boat?

Maritime satellite internet systems (VSAT) provide broadband connectivity offshore, beyond the reach of cell towers. The KVH TracPhone V30 is an ultra-compact system that delivers speeds up to 6 Mbps down and 2 Mbps up, with flexible month-to-month airtime plans. For vessels 30 feet and larger, the KVH TracNet H30 automatically switches between satellite, cellular, and shore-based Wi-Fi to keep you on the best available connection. Larger yachts can step up to the TracNet H60 or the TracPhone V7-HTS.
8. Can I add a motor to my kayak, canoe, or paddleboard?

Yes. Bixpy electric outboard kits are designed to motorize kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, float tubes, and inflatables. The Bixpy K-1 Outboard Motor Kit packs 33 lbs of thrust into a motor and battery package that weighs under 10 lbs combined. Brand-specific adapter bundles are available for popular boats, including Oru, Hoodoo, Reel Yak, ISLE, GILI, and Nixy. For other watercraft, the Bixpy Universal Versa Rudder Adapter Bundle offers a flexible mounting solution.
9. What is a forward-facing sonar mount and do I need one?

Forward-facing sonar shows fish and structure in real time ahead of your boat, and a quality mount is key to aiming the transducer precisely. The FORESIGHT Forward-Facing Motorized Sonar Mount works with bow-mount trolling motors. It lets your transducer stow and deploy alongside the motor while being controlled independently with an included wireless foot pedal, so your hands stay on the rod. Pair it with our fishing gear to complete your setup.
10. Are these marine accessories safe for saltwater use?

Yes. The products in this collection are built for the marine environment, with features like bronze and 316 stainless steel housings, IP67 and IPX7 waterproof ratings, sealed enclosures, and corrosion-resistant hardware. Regular freshwater rinsing after saltwater use will help any marine product last longer.

Marine Accessories for Boats, Kayaks & Paddleboards

Time on the water is about freedom: cruising to a favorite cove, chasing fish at first light, or anchoring at the sandbar with friends after sunset. The right marine accessories make all of it safer, more comfortable, and more fun. At Omaha Sports & Games, our marine accessories collection brings together high-performance upgrades for every kind of boater, including underwater boat lights, marine LED light bars, satellite TV antennas, maritime satellite internet, electric outboard motors, forward-facing sonar mounts, night vision cameras, and satellite weather receivers. We carry trusted names like KVH, Shadow-Caster, HEISE, Bixpy, Garmin, BoatEye360, and FORESIGHT. Whether you run a center console offshore, fish from a bass boat, cruise a family pontoon, or paddle a kayak on the local lake, this guide will help you find the right upgrades for your vessel.

Why Upgrade Your Boat with Marine Accessories?

Most boats leave the factory with the basics, but the accessories you add are what turn a boat into your boat. Better lighting extends your day into the night and makes docking and navigation safer. Onboard entertainment and connectivity let you stay out longer without giving up the comforts of home or staying in touch with work and family. Fishing electronics help you find and land more fish. Electric propulsion opens up quiet, low-maintenance travel for small boats, kayaks, and paddleboards. And safety tools like night vision cameras and live weather help you avoid hazards before they become problems.

Every product in this collection is designed for the demanding marine environment, with features like bronze and 316 stainless steel housings, sealed and waterproof enclosures, and corrosion-resistant hardware built to handle sun, spray, and saltwater.

Underwater Boat Lights

Underwater lights are one of the most popular boat upgrades, and for good reason. Mounted below the waterline, they cast a glowing halo of color around your hull that turns heads at the marina and sandbar. They also serve practical purposes: they improve visibility around your boat while docking or anchoring at night, make your vessel easier for other boaters to see, and are widely used by night anglers because the light draws in baitfish, which in turn attracts gamefish.

Shadow-Caster is a leader in underwater LED lighting, designed and manufactured in Clearwater, Florida. The Shadow-Caster SCR-24 Round Underwater Marine Light packs 24 LEDs and up to 7,500 lumens into a compact 4-inch bronze housing for surface mounting below the waterline. Its clear-gel-filled design resists condensation and water intrusion, and it’s available in single-color, dual-color, and full color-changing versions. For a slimmer profile, the Shadow-Caster Color Caster Extended Multi-Color Underwater Light delivers up to 3,750 lumens with a wide 120-degree beam and 12 selectable colors in a passivated 316 stainless steel housing. That makes it a great choice for trailered boats and boats kept on a lift. Connect Shadow-Caster lights to a Shadow-NET enabled system for virtually unlimited color combinations and dynamic lighting effects. Above the waterline, the Shadow-Caster Eagle Ray LED Light Bar brings the same quality to deck and tower lighting.

Marine LED Light Bars

A quality LED light bar lights up the water ahead of you for safer night running, helps you pick up channel markers and debris, and makes loading and docking after dark much easier. When choosing one, look for a sealed waterproof housing, stainless hardware to resist salt air corrosion, and a size and shape that fits your T-top, hardtop, or tower.

HEISE LED Lighting Systems offers a wide range of marine-ready light bars. Curved designs like the HEISE Dual Row Marine LED Curved Light Bar (30") and the HEISE Dual Row Marine Curved LED Light Bar (42") follow the lines of a T-top for a clean, factory look. Blackout finishes, like the HEISE Dual Row Curved Blackout LED Light Bar and the HEISE 32" Blackout Dual Row 60 LED Light Bar, give a stealthy, modern appearance. For a low-profile install, the HEISE Single Row Slimline LED Light Bar is a great fit. If you want lighting with personality, the HEISE Infinite Series 40" RGB Backlite Light Bar combines a powerful 8-degree spot beam with app-controlled RGB backlighting in 16 million colors. It has an IP67-rated die-cast aluminum housing and 316 stainless hardware. HEISE light bars are equally at home on trucks and UTVs, so they pair well with our off-road accessories.

Marine Satellite TV Systems

Watching the big game, catching the evening news, or keeping the kids entertained on a long cruise is easy with a stabilized marine satellite TV antenna. These systems use motorized, gyro-stabilized dishes to stay locked on the satellite even as your boat rolls and turns.

KVH is one of the most respected names in mobile satellite communications. The KVH TracVision TV6 is a 24-inch marine antenna that supports DIRECTV, DISH Network, Bell TV, and Ku-band services around the world. It uses KVH’s RingFire antenna technology for strong reception, and the IP-enabled TV-Hub lets you control everything from your smartphone or tablet. It’s offered in several configurations, including a Linear Universal Quad LNB version and a DIRECTV Latin America version. For DIRECTV HD programming, there’s the KVH TracVision UHD7. Larger vessels and long-range cruisers can step up to bigger antennas for wider coverage, like the TracVision TV8, TracVision TV10, or TracVision HD11. In general, larger antennas maintain a signal farther from shore and in tougher weather.

RV travelers aren’t left out. The KVH TracVision A9 is an in-motion satellite TV system built for RVs. Its 5-inch-tall dome clears low overpasses while delivering live DIRECTV or DISH programming on the highway or at the campsite. It’s available in roof rack mount and direct roof mount versions. All satellite TV systems require a subscription with your TV service provider.

Maritime Satellite Internet

Cell signals fade quickly once you leave the coast, but maritime VSAT systems keep you connected for streaming, video calls, email, navigation updates, and remote work far offshore. The KVH TracPhone V30 is KVH’s most compact maritime VSAT system, delivering up to 6 Mbps down and 2 Mbps up with flexible month-to-month airtime plans. The KVH TracPhone V3-HTS offers a compact 14.5-inch mini-VSAT option, while the TracPhone V7-HTS provides a larger 24-inch antenna for demanding users.

For vessels 30 feet and larger, the KVH TracNet H30 and TracNet H60 connect to the KVH ONE hybrid network. The TracNet Hub automatically switches between global satellite coverage, cellular data, and shore-based Wi-Fi based on signal quality and cost, so you’re always on the best available connection without lifting a finger.

Electric Outboard Motors for Kayaks, Paddleboards & Small Boats

Electric propulsion is changing how people enjoy small watercraft. Electric outboards are quiet, produce no fumes, need very little maintenance, and are often allowed on lakes where gas motors aren’t. For anglers, a silent motor means you can move between spots without spooking fish.

Bixpy builds lightweight, high-performance electric motors for nearly every kind of small craft. The Bixpy K-1 Outboard Motor Kit with SUN80 Solar Panel delivers 33 lbs of thrust in a motor-and-battery package that weighs under 10 lbs. It can motorize kayaks and canoes, paddleboards, float tubes, dinghies, and inflatables. The included 80-watt solar panel can fully recharge the battery in about 6 to 10 hours, which is ideal for multi-day trips. Kayak anglers can choose the Bixpy Angler Pro Kit with SUN80 Solar Panel or the Reel Yak Bundle with Bixpy K-1 Angler Pro Kit.

Bixpy also makes brand-specific bundles that fit your boat right out of the box, including kits for Oru folding kayaks, Hoodoo pedal-drive kayaks, Reel Yak kayaks, ISLE paddleboards (including a Power Pole adapter and steering bundle), GILI paddleboards, and Nixy paddleboards. For other watercraft, the Bixpy Universal Versa Rudder Adapter Bundle offers a flexible mounting solution.

For slightly larger boats, the Bixpy N-3 Outboard Motor and Power Pack Kit is built for jon boats, dinghies, tenders, inflatables, and small sailboats between 8 and 14 feet. It delivers 3HP-equivalent performance from a brushless motor, is rated IP67 waterproof for freshwater and saltwater, and comes with a 36V, 1440Wh lithium-ion power pack. The tiller’s LCD display shows battery level, speed, range, and power draw. The N-3 Motor Assembly is also available on its own.

Fishing Electronics and Sonar Mounts

Today’s top anglers rely on electronics to find fish, and two products in this collection give you an edge. Forward-facing sonar shows fish and structure in real time ahead of the boat, and precise transducer control is critical to using it well. The FORESIGHT Forward-Facing Motorized Sonar Mount works with bow-mount trolling motors. It lets your transducer stow and deploy alongside the trolling motor while being aimed independently with an included wireless foot pedal, so your hands stay on the rod.

Offshore anglers will appreciate the Garmin GXM 54 SiriusXM Satellite Weather, Radio & Fish Mapping Receiver. It connects to compatible Garmin chartplotters to display live NEXRAD radar, lightning, and wind and wave forecasts, along with more than 150 SiriusXM radio channels. Its Fish Mapping feature suggests hot spots for species like mahi, marlin, swordfish, wahoo, and yellowfin based on real sea conditions. A SiriusXM Marine subscription is required. Round out your setup with rods, reels, and tackle from our fishing gear collection.

Night Vision Boat Cameras

Running at night means dealing with crab traps, buoys, debris, unlit vessels, and paddlers that are nearly invisible to the naked eye. A marine night vision camera shows those hazards on your display long before you reach them. The BoatEye360 C-1080 Full Color Night Vision Boat Camera uses an ultra-sensitive sensor to produce full-color images under moonlight or starlight. It’s the first marine night vision camera to offer true 1080p HDMI output, and it includes analog output for older displays. Built in Florida from 316L stainless steel with titanium screws, it’s made to survive years of saltwater exposure.

How to Choose the Right Marine Accessories

Know your boat. Size, hull material, and layout all affect what you can install and where. Underwater lights need a suitable surface below the waterline, light bars need a T-top, hardtop, or tower to mount on, and satellite antennas need a clear, stable mounting location. Larger antennas generally suit larger vessels.

Check your electrical system. Lighting, satellite systems, and electronics all draw power. Confirm your boat’s voltage and battery capacity, and plan wiring runs and switches before you buy.

Confirm compatibility. Make sure accessories work with your existing chartplotter or multifunction display, trolling motor, or satellite TV provider. Each product page lists compatibility details.

Choose marine-grade materials. For saltwater use, look for bronze or 316 stainless steel housings, high waterproof ratings like IP67, and corrosion-resistant hardware. Rinse everything with fresh water after saltwater trips to extend its life.

Plan for subscriptions. Satellite TV, satellite internet, and SiriusXM weather and radio all require a service plan in addition to the hardware.

Consider installation. Some products, like Bixpy outboard kits, are designed for simple DIY setup. Others, like through-hull lighting or satellite systems, are often best handled by a qualified marine installer.
