make any adjustments necessary to keep out of the way
of the privileged boat.

The General Prudential Rule
The general prudential rule regarding right-of-way is that if a collision
appears unavoidable, neither boat has right-of-way. As prescribed in the
Rules of the Road, both boats must act to avoid collision.
Night Running
Boats operating between sunset and sunrise (hours vary by state) must use
navigational lights. Nighttime operation, especially during bad weather or
fog can be dangerous. All Rules of Road apply at night, but it is best to slow
down and stay clear of all boats, regardless of who has right-of-way. Protect
your night vision by avoiding bright lights and have a passenger, if possible,
help keep watch for other boats, water hazards, and aids to navigation.
