Who are you saying is incorrect? A towing light is clearly not an all
around light.

You didn't post an answer Jeff. Neal and
Joe are both wrong, it is not B or D.

I'll admit it is not a simple question. These are the
typical confusing questions the USCG asks.

The correct answer is C

You're right. I didn't feel the need for points this time. I only
got interesting when I saw how poorly Joe and Neal were doing.

Neal and Joe are both wrong, it is not B or D.

But I did say that they were both wrong on this one.



I'll admit it is not a simple question. These are the
typical confusing questions the USCG asks.

A towing light is defined as being "just like a stern light, except
yellow." How can that be confused with white, all around, or at the
bow? There are lots of confusing questions; this is not one of them.

A vessel towing has two masthead lights in a row. These lights are white and
are often referred to as towing lights. When you meet a tug towing behind
you will see the normal running lights plus the two towing lights (masthead lights)

This is where the confusion lies. Those two white lights tell you this vessel is
towing. Towing lights - get it?
