Boat Lights

Author: boater, 08 27th, 2009

If you’re going to be on the water after dark your boat needs the following lights:

  • A Green Light – showing from dead-ahead to 112.5 degrees down the starboard (right) side of your boat.
  • A Red Light – showing from dead-ahead to 112.5 degrees down the port (left) side of your boat.
  • A White Masthead Light – showing through the entire 225 degrees covered by both the Green and the Red lights combined.
  • A White Stern Light – that shows from dead-astern to 67.5 degrees on both sides of the stern (a total area of 135 degrees).

Make sure you always do a safety inspection of all of these must-have accessories to make sure they are in good working order before heading out to the water. Otherwise you may find yourself in deep water with the authorities, and headed back to shore with a hefty fine to pay.  Remember boat lights other than the lights talked about above are not safety lights.
