Navigation/Anchor Lighting
Fig. 2.15.1
A three-position switch, located on the console
switch panel marked “NAV/ANC” controls the
navigation and anchor lighting. In the “Navigation
Lights” position the port (red) and starboard (green)
lights will illuminate. These lights let other vessels
know the approximate size and direction of travel of
your boat, depending on which lights they can see. In
the “Anchor Lights” position, the white, 360-degree
light will illuminate, showing other boaters your
location while at anchor.
Navigation Lighting
Your boat comes equipped with navigation lighting
for your safety. Regulations state that all boats, no
matter the size, must display navigation lights. The
lights must be displayed at night (sunset to sunrise)
or in low visibility conditions. It is the responsibility
of the operator to ensure that the navigation lights are
in good working order and that the proper lighting
is shown
Operating the Navigation Lighting
When operating in reduced visibility or at night it
is only prudent to slow the boats speed and keep a
“proper lookout”. It is important that you understand
navigation lights and their usage for your safety and
the safety of others.
When using the canvas sun-top with the console
mounted navigation light be sure to slide the
navigation light through the opening in the top of
the sun-top.
Be sure to remove the light pole from the base before
stowing the canvas Sun-top. When not being used,
the aft pole light can be stowed in clips located on
the starboard aft cockpit area.
The improper sequence of navigation lighting
may be as dangerous as no lighting at all.
NOTICE
When using the SUN-TOP, make certain that
all securing straps are taut. Damage to the
navigation light can happen if the canvas frame
straps are loose or not secured properly.
