time authorities, recreational vessels should display navigational lights between
sunset and sunrise, as well as other periods of reduced visibility. These are avail-
able on most models either as a standard light
that is on the deck, or as an optional pop-up light that pushes
down into the deck and a chrome cover that sits flush with the
deck. To open the pop-up, push down on the chrome exterior
and the light will pop open. To close, push down on the light
and it will fold into the deck casing.
Bow lights are located at the front of the bow. On a
traditional bow, it is two-colored—red and green and operated
from a button on the dash panel.
Models: All models.
Docking Lights: These are an option that offer addition-
al visual assistance. The lights are located around the bow
area, two per boat, and provide white light to the front of the
boat. The docking lights are operated from a button on the
dash. Please note that boat operators are not allowed to
operate docking lights while the boat is underway.
Models: (Optional) All models.
Courtesy Lights: The courtesy lights vary from model
to model and are found in all areas of the deck from bow
to stern, as well as inside storage compartments. (Lights
in storage compartments are controlled separately.) Also
available as an option are under-seat courtesy lights.
Most lights provide white light, although there is an un-
derseat lighting option that offers the colors of red, blue and
white. These lights are LED and therefore bright without ex-
cessive heat. However, leaving them on for extended periods
of time shorten the life of the bulb and can become warm to
the touch. Axis recommends leaving the lights off unless they
are needed. The lights operate from a button on the dash.
Models: All models.
Tower Lights: All boats equipped with towers will also
have a 360-degree light on top for use at anchor. This white
light provides additional visual assistance ahead of the bow;
however, note that this light cannot be used while the
boat is underway as it could impair other boaters' vision.
This light is on whenever the navigation/anchor lights are on.
Boat outings should conclude prior to dark. Visual
sighting is critical to safe boating. In an emergency where
the boat must be operated in darkness, use the boat's
navigation/anchor lighting in accordance with local law
Bow and Anchor Lights: As required by the U.S. Coast Guard and most mari-
Bow lights get hot during use, which could result in burns if touched.
The light can remain hot for an extended period of time after it has
been turned OFF.
