Axis A24 - Lighting

 AllAxisboatsareequippedwithmultiplelightstoassistboatersinlowlightsituations.
Boat outings should conclude prior to dark. Visual
sighting is critical to safe boating. In an emergency where
the boat must be operated in darkness, use the boat’s
navigation/anchor lighting in accordance with local law
and ordinances which may restrict the type of lighting to be used, plus sound signals,
to alert anyone in the area, and proceed slowly. After dark, it may be impossible to see
other boats, submerged hazards or the shoreline, which can result in damage to the boat
that is not covered under warranty, and serious injury or even death.
Bow and Anchor Lights:AsrequiredbytheU.S.CoastGuardandmostmari-
timeauthorities,recreationalvesselsshoulddisplaynavigationallightsbetween
