My 82 SN has a blue starboard navigation light rather than green.
Is this how they came originally from CC? Could the police/DNR hassle me about it not being green like every other boat? |

my guess is it is either faded green or someone tried to modify it somehow?
blue is not a navigational light. and shouldn't be displayed in a nav light location. decorative its ok to a point. There are strict guidelines for NAV light display locations, and even brightnesses. so beware the cheap chinese knockoff lighting from ebay. it isn't like a car though, where absolutely no blue is allowed. You Can have blue or all kind of colors, they habve to be solid and cannot be in a location where they can be confused with a wig wag or any type of flashing motion. in other words they can't be displayed in a manner that someone would think that you are marine patrol etc. any marine patrol that hassles you has every right to if you display a blue and he "thinks" it appears to be flashing. http://www.uscg.mil/hq/cg5/cg545/alerts/1015.pdf |

I was thinking the same thing until I did some searching:
Check out the picture at the bottom of this page and also this listing So it looks to be original? EDIT Here is the exact same boat for sale on CL with the same lights. |
