There is nothing is writing and this has been an ongoing discussion at Marine Patrol but this is their current position.

Interesting. laws have changed? I got a ticket anchoring off Timber Island one night by a cadet officer, he stated the red/green bow lights shall be displayed when anchoring. I showed him my NH Boater's manual and it states that the red/green lights shall be display only when under way.
I contested the ticket. While I was waiting for the court date, an apologetic letter from marine patrol came in the mail asking me to disregard the summon.
