Row Boats and Lighting
Got a question and well I'm just to lazy to try to find the answer, everyone here knows EVERYTHING! Does a small aluminum row boat with a tiny outboard on it need any "lighting" after dark?? Wondering if there's a size limit or what the rules are about lighting. Thanks!!

Believe that starting 30-minutes before sunset, a rowboat without a motor, is required to have a white light visible for 360-degrees.
So, if you use a rowboat or kayak or canoe that is rowed or paddled that doesn't have an electric or gasoline motor, something like a five dollar, battery powered lantern with a white light positioned appropriately is required......and common sense tells you that a 24' boat moving at 30-mph with a gps navigation screen in the dark will probably not see your small paddle or rowboat with the small white light. A personal injury situation that may likely become a 'hit & run.'

To me its just common sense. Go to West Marine, Amazon etc or your local store and buy an Led light with a small pole and clamp its worth the $20 and might just let a power boater etc.. see you at night. I carry extra light poles on my power boat one is battery powered.
