Dan is correct. My neighbor bought one of the biggest if not the biggest toon on the lake from Thurston's. When he turns on the nav or anchor light both outside pontoons will light up just below the waterline. First night out he was stop by marine patrol and was told only the nav or anchor light is to be displayed. There was an altercation between the LEO and the owner as the owner could not switch off the LED lights without switching off the nav or anchor lights. The owner was told he cannot go anywhere without any lights. He would have to cut the wires or pull the fuse, just turn the LED lights off!
I don't what he did to turn the LED off but he did tell me Thurston told home it was his problem. He ended up putting an extra light switch on the dash for the LED lights. He found out he was not the only one.
I was stop once for having the cockpit lights on underway. Cockpit lights and cabin lights are not allowed under way. Maybe Skip or Capt Dunleavy can clarify for us.
