Rules Of The Road
Crossing Signals
NIGHT RUNNING
Boats operating between sunset and sunrise (hours vary by state), or in
conditions of reduced visibility, must use navigation lights. Nighttime
operations, especially during bad weather and fog, can be dangerous.
All rules of the road apply at night, but it is best to slow down and
stay clear of all boats regardless of who has the right-of-way.
Your navigation lights should always be functional. These lights
include the red/green light at the bow of your boat, and the 360
degree anchor pole light. The pole light is not permanently affi xed
to your vessel. It must be assembled and plugged in each time your
vessel operates at night. Your pole light is normally stored in the ski
locker. Extend the pole and lock the pieces together and then insert
the light into the socket normally located on the aft starboard side
of your vessel near the transom walk-thru. Then test the lights by
activating the navigation lights and anchor lights at the dash.
