The important thing to note here is as follows:
Boaters should be concerned about installing “decora- tive” lighting on their boats in various places, including underwater, on the rubrail, or just above the waterline. Care must be taken that these lights:
LEDs under rub rail surrounding vessel.
- cannot be mistaken for navigation lights,
- do not impair the visibility or distinctive character of approved and properly placed navigation lights, and
- do not interfere with the operator’s ability to maintain a proper lookout. Such circumstances may represent a violation of Rule 20.
SAFETY ALERT 10-15
Rule 20 specifies that only those lights prescribed, or those that don’t interfere with those prescribed, may be used. Haphazard installation of additional lighting must be avoided. A violation can occur if the installation of additional lights can be construed as a light required by the Rules for another vessel. For instance, blue underwater LED lights can appear to be flashing if there is any wave action, giving the ap- pearance of a flashing blue light only authorized to be used by law enforcement vessels per 33 CFR 88.05.
Completely insane. Any lighting is only likely to make you more visible to other boaters, thereby increasing safety.Here is marine safety alert from the US Coast Guard.
