Lighting

The USCG Rules concerning lights shall be complied with from sunset to sunrise, and during such times no other lights shall be exhibited, except such lights which cannot be mistaken for the lights specified in the USCG Rules or do not impair their visibility or distinctive character, or interfere with the keeping of a proper look-out.

The navigation rules on positioning of lights apply to anyone who installs lights whether it be the builder or the owner/operator. The rule requires they be installed correctly.  The rules for certification of lights apply only to manufacturers, dealers and distributors. Learn More About USCG Rules
