Primarily I see pontoons doing it, but not always.

Re: Which Docking Lights are better?
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.
