Do I need nav lights?
7/31/2010 9:48:03 AM
I've got a 15' 8" Scanoe that I use for fishing, and I use a trolling to scoot around. According to Virginia boating regulations, a canoe (under oar) does not need nav lights at night. Since I'm using a trolling motor, does that mean I need lights?
Thanks.
Thanks.

From USCG site
