Just rewired my boat , don't know how but I've managed it an everything works wtf ! . So finally put nav lights on well just the port and starboard LEDs . How important is the white one in the middle the one sometimes mounted on a pole ?

Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
you want port/stbd and all round white since I assume your wee beastie goes faster than 7 knots. You can get away without a stern light though

Boat wiring it ain't that hard if you take your time,
All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.
Anchor light if anvhoring in the dark is a good option munsey
All round light with your side lights on means a motor making way and underway, difference from a motor vessel to a yacht. Putting the light behind you i.e mounted on a stern pole reduces white glare when underway at night. If you have it on a different switch to your port and starboard lights, then you can use it as a riding light or a handy light for night fishing.

And I do hope you used marine grade or tinned copper electrical cable
Just checking - I've had to rewire a few boats where the owner seems to have gone to Repco and bought speaker wire
So I need to get these lights for my run about? It's 14 foot 6.

Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Whilst you guys are on the subject of tinned wires, when doing my apprenticeship many years ago I was taught to use 70/30% solder for all electrical gear EXCEPT marine. Wehad to use 60/40% because the 70/30 was too brittle and gave way after a few years with the vibration. The 60/40 is obviously softer but doesn't fracture with boat vibrations. I changed all contacts on my boat and never had an electrical issue all the years we had it.
