Meeting Head-On or Nearly-So Situations
When two motor boats are approaching each other
head-on or nearly head-on, neither boat has the
right of way. Both boats should reduce their speed
and turn to the right so as to pass port side to port
side, providing enough clearance for safe passage.
The boats should sound the appropriate signals.
Overtaking Situations
When one motor boat is overtaking another mo-
tor boat, the boat that is being passed has the
right of way. The overtaking boat must make the
adjustments necessary to provide clearance for a
safe passage of the other vessel. The boats should
sound the appropriate signals.
The General Prudential Rule
In obeying the Rules of the Road, due regard must
be given to all dangers of navigation and colli-
sion, and to any special circumstances, including
the limitations of the vessels, which may justify
a departure from the rules that is necessary to
avoid immediate danger or a collision.
Night Operation
Recreational boats are required to display naviga-
tion lights between sunset and sunrise and other
periods of reduced visibility such as fog, rain,
haze, etc. When operating your boat at night
you should:
• Make sure your navigation lights are on and
working properly. Navigation lights warn
others of your position and course and the
position and course of other vessels.
• All navigation rules apply. If the bow light of
another vessel shows red, you should give way
to that vessel, if it shows green, you have the
right of way.
• Slow down and never operate at high speeds
when operating at night, stay clear of all boats
and use good common sense. Always be ready
to slow down or steer clear of other vessels,
even if you have the right-of-way.
• Avoid bright lights that can destroy night
vision, making it difficult to see navigation
lights and the lights of other boats. You and
your passengers should keep a sharp lookout
for hazards, other boats and navigational
aids.
