The lights come with suction cups, as seen here, or with clamps.

Alex,
This is a very timely and worthwhile article. As boaters, we often get so excited about getting out on the water for the first time each year that we forget mundane, but important and necessary safety items like these. I confess that more than once I’ve been caught out after dark with nothing more than a flashlight aboard. Thanks!

I was issued a caution by a zealous police patrol for not having lights on my rowboat. This was at 11 am on a sunny day within 100′ of my dock. I know the officer was mistaken because I teach boating courses, but arguing would probably have invoked further erroneous cautions. Since then I have always had a light attached to my PFD, but these lights would be even better.
These Attwood navigation lights work great on my 14′ john boat. The stern light is bright and the bow lights (red and green) are perfect. Both appear to have great visibility at night. The clamps are a perfect fit without getting in the way. Not sure how they’ll hold up with the weather but I purchased a separate waterproof box to stow them away.
