Re: Which Docking Lights are better?
 

Yep, it is illegal, but I see people, doing it all the time. I guess they don't reralize you can see much better without them, and the people they are blinding might not run them over if they weren't blinded. :D Primarily I see pontoons doing it, but not always.

I used to use my docking lights frequently on the boats I'd had but not for running distances on open navigable waters( the real danger is how another vessel could read what you are and what your heading is) . Most every one of those boats leaked around the lights too. My new boat dosen't have them and the cabin has remained really dry.
