Happy boating, *Norm *(boy, do I miss it)

Thanks for all the great advice. I suppose I was concerned abotu using
Nav. lights on the bow instead of the sides, is because that's what
I'm used to seeing.

My 27' Chris Craft had a bow light, and this is the first boat I've
owned that they were on the sides.

the light on the aft is not suspended like what you would think on a
pole, but is in the middle of the stern. It kind of reminds you of a
back up light if anything else.
