Just out of curiosity, for motoring only, is it legal to switch off the stern light and use the 360 degree masthead anchor light instead of both a steaming light and stern light combination?
Henry - Yep that is permitted by USCG regulations for craft the size of Mboats (but some local places may be different but those rules don't usually come into play until you have been present for an extended time as you are a transient visitor). :: Dave Scobie :: M6'8" #650 :: SV SWALLOW - sv-swallow.com :: former owner M17 #375 SWEET PEA - m17-375.com :: former owner M15 #288 SCRED - www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred/ On Mon, Dec 28, 2020, 7:57 AM Henry Rodriguez <heinzir@gmail.com> wrote:

Assuming pulpit mounted red/green bow lights. It seems this would be the same as a power boat with an all around white light mounted on a pole on the stern.
