Section 2 • General Boat Arrangement

B.Oil Pressure, Water Temperature, Voltmeter and Fuel Gauges

These gauges function on your boat the same way they do on your car or truck. You must continually check these gauges visually to make certain there are no engine system problems even if your boat engine has an alarm system.

9.Navigation and Anchor Lights

Navigation lights must be on while underway from sunset to sunrise or in conditions of reduced visibility. "Underway" means the boat is not docked or at anchor. Trolling or drifting with engine off is considered "underway" and navigation lights must be used. (See Figures 2.8.1 and 2.8.2)

If you are anchored in open water, i.e. where other boats can approach yours, you must display your anchor light: a white light that can be seen from all possible directions, i.e. 360 degrees.

Read the "Federal Requirements and Safety Tips for Recreational Boats" provided in your Owner's Manual Packet..
