Now,now.

It's really not nice to make fun of someone's imaginary friend.

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?


Are you trolling (pun) or just plain stupid. Those lights are there for a
reason. There are lots of rules on those NAV lights. Use them where they
and don't be irresponsible jerk.

For if you modified them out of spec, and if on the jury on your trial, I
would only ask what is the maximum sentence.

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.

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.
