[QUOTE="KevinWI, post: 499048, member: 7422"] I cannot write about the legality while underway, but as long as you have your proper nav lights on while underway, any other lights should not be an issue. Duck hunters for decades have been using flood lights to navigate channels on the Mississippi river...where both coast guard and dnr wardens patrol...never heard of anyone getting a ticket. Carp bowhunters have their fronts lit up with floodlights at night with no reprocussion. I can understand, like with my boat, if I only had my green LED on while underway....that would be illegal as there is no way to distinguish front from back or direction of travel. On a side note, I made sure the backing was 3m tape on my LED strip, then I sealed top and bottom with 3m clear sealant....so far, so good. Under the gunnel is best to avoid glare...all light points downward. [/QUOTE]
