Navigation lights must be on while underway
from sunset to sunrise or in conditions of reduced
visibility. "Underway" means the boat is not docked
or at anchor. Trolling or drifting with engine off is
considered "underway" and navigation lights must
be used. (See Figure 2.8.2)
If you are anchored in open water, i.e. where other
boats can approach yours, you must display your
anchor light: a white light that can be seen from
all possible directions, i.e. 360 degrees.
Read the "Federal Requirements and Safety Tips
for Recreational Boats" provided in your Owner's
Manual Packet..

These gauges function on your boat the same way
they do on your car or truck. You must continually
check these gauges visually to make certain there
are no engine system problems even if your boat
engine has an alarm system.
