Although as I have a 9.9 Honda on my Zodiac 310 RIB, I am not required
to have running lights

You won't run far in SC that way. EVERY boat, even rowed, is required to
have proper night lighting. Row boats must have an all-around white light.
ANY size motor boat, even one with an electric trolling motor, are required
to have an all-around white light on the stern and a red-green 120 degree
sectored light on the bow.

What country is this you live in without lights??

Lake Ontario at Toronto. There is no requirement for recreational
powered watercraft such as Zodiacs under 9.9 HP to run tri-colour
lights at night. This is not the case, obviously, with sailboats.
