Navigation Lights
Your boat is equipped with navigation lights for your
safety. Regulations state that all boats, regardless of
size, must display navigation lights at night.
Your navigation lights let people operating other ves-
sels know the approximate size of your boat and the
direction your boat is traveling. Depending on which
lights are displayed, they let people operating other
vessels know your position while you are underway or
anchored.
Your navigation lights must be displayed at night or in
low visibility conditions. It is your responsibility to ver-
ify that the navigation lights are in working condition
and that proper lighting is displayed.
Operation
Operate your navigation lights using the switch located
on the helm station switch panel. It is a three-position
rocker switch marked NAV-ANCHOR.
While underway, move the switch to the NAV position.
This turns on the port red, starboard green, and 360°
white lights. The red and green lights are located on
the forward deck. The 360° white light is located on a
mast.
At anchor, move the switch to the ANCHOR position.
This turns on only the 360° white light.
The center position of the rocker switch is the OFF
position. No lights are lighted when the switch is in the
OFF position.
!
CAUTION
Installing after-market accessories such as
radar domes, arches, and strobe lights can
obstruct the navigation lights and decrease
their effectiveness. It is your responsibility to
comply with regulations regarding the normal
operation of the navigation lights.
