Nice Eyes!!

I've been wondering about the lighting requirements to be out after dark. Is each lake diff or is it the same everywhere? And if so, what are the regs?

[Fishon1982]

Thanks guys. We were casting all night I have been thinking of running a dual planner of the boat with a few pole on it has ne one ever tried? The light restriction on Hopatcong is open 24/7 and just need front marker and back light if that's what your asking

[NorthJerzyG]

I remember something from boater safety class about having green marker on one side and red on the other? Not sure if that applies.

Also, were would I get these to mount on a johnboat?

I believe state law requires at least the navigation lights, and possibly even the back white light.

[acabtp]

all motor vessels require red and green navigation lights and a white running light while under way. at anchor, just the white light. should be covered in your boater safety course manual.

you can get them all over the place, walmart, cabelas, iboats.com, etc

[NorthJerzyG]

Thanx. Since the class my manual has gone missing.

The formatting may get mixed up, but if I copied the correct info, NJ regs:

Navigational Lights
Power-driven vessels:
If vessel construction began before December 25, 1981 and the boat is under 20 meters in
length, it must display:
• A green light on the starboard (right) side of the boat
• A red light on the port (left) side of the boat
• A masthead light (225 degrees) and a stern light (135 degrees), or a 360 degrees
masthead light.

If vessel construction began after December 24, 1981 and the boat is 12 meters or more in
length, it must display:
• A green light on the starboard (right) side of the boat
• A red light on the port (left) side of the boat
• A masthead light (225 degrees) and a stern light (135 degrees).

If vessel construction began after December 24, 1981 and the boat is under 12 meters in
length, it may exhibit the same lights required for vessels under 20 meters when the
construction was started before December 25, 1981.

Sailing Vessels and Vessels under Oars:
Sailing vessels under sail alone must display:
• Red and green sidelights visible from a distance of at least one mile on a dark clear
night
• A stern light visible from a distance of at least two miles.

Sailing vessels of less than 7 meters must display, and vessels under oars may display, if
practicable, the lights prescribed above, but if not, it must have ready at hand an electric
torch or lighted lantern showing a white light.

Anchored Vessels:
Between sunset and sunrise, all vessels must use a white light visible for 360 degrees and
visible from a distance of two miles whenever they are moored or anchored away from dock.
