There will be mornings when the water looks like glass and you’ll want to head out for an early fishing trip. Or, you may return from visiting a friend’s cabin after sunset, or a heavy layer of fog may roll in while you’re out exploring a new area of the lake. These scenarios are not unlikely, and for that reason, you’re required to display the proper navigation light equipment when your boat is underway or when it’s at anchor. Using your navigation lights correctly will help keep the waterways a safe and relaxing place to spend your time.
