I'm removing the bow red/green nav light from the new boat and
am thinking of placing one single color nav light on each side of
the
center console.

I can't seem to find the damned rule regarding nav lights. I believe
having the red/green lights on the side is perfectly legal, but I'm
looking for a "source." The USCG site seems to be down here.

Anyone? Ferris? Ferris Bueller?

Thanks:

"Sidelights - Colored lights - red on port and green on starboard -
showing an unbroken arc of the horizon of 112.5 degrees, from dead
ahead
to 22.5 degrees abaft the beam on each side."

Sidelights it is.
Harry, I'd double think that, first..... For a center console or
walk around, I'd rather have the lights where they won't be occluded
by somebody standing in the "wrong" place....
Not a problem with Harry's boat.

Play nice.
Please...it's Herringbrain, the guy who gave his boat to his kids so he'd
have to drive three hours to see it and therefore have a great excuse not
to bother.

At least he used his boat. And I have given stuff to the kids also.



One would be hard pressed to use a boat less than Harry has, even if you
gave it to your family who lived on the opposite coast than you do.
