Lights; Navigation Lights; Docking Lights; Anchor Light - Bennington Pontoon Owner's Manual

LIGHTS:

There are different types of lights on your Bennington. Some are for navigational and safety needs,
others are just for your comfort and convenience. Some of the following lights may or may not be on
your Bennington boat model. Please contact your Bennington dealer before adding or changing any
lights on your boat and follow all laws concerning the use of lights on your boat.

Navigation Lights:

Boats must display navigational lights when operating between sunset and sunrise and during
periods of poor visibility (rain or fog). These lights help to alert other boaters of a boat's presence
and course. Follow all laws concerning the use of navigational lights. The green navigation light is
always on the starboard side of the boat (right side). The red navigation light is always on the port
side of the boat (left side). Please keep this information in mind as you see other boats approaching
your boat while on the water.

Docking Lights:

Docking lights act as headlights do on an automobile. These lights are intended to be used as you
"dock" your boat after dark or during poor visibility. There is no need to use these lights while
simply "cruising" on the water. It is best to use them only while attempting to "dock" your boat after
dark.

Anchor Light:

The anchor light is a white all-round light that is located on top off your bimini top. This light is usu-
ally used just while your boat is anchored on the water so that other boaters can see you after dark.
Please follow all laws concerning the use of your boat's anchor light.

Courtesy Light:

The courtesy light is in your boat to provide extra convenience and comfort. It can be used after
dark to allow you to see items on your boat and to assist passengers as they move around inside of
the boat after dark. You can operate the courtesy light(s) by using the Nav/Anc switch on your helm
in conjunction with gently pushing the white lens on the light.

Controls:

Knowing how to use the controls on your boat is essential for safe and proper operation. The con-
trols described in this section may be optional equipment for your boat or may vary slightly from
those on your boat.
