Turn on and LEAVE it on.The better to see you with...quietman
The bow light is the Green/Red light and turned off when stopped/anchored. The stern light is the white light and on at all times. The information was passed to me from another site(KFS). I understood the stern light(white) is on at all times. The reason I brought it up is to inform others that read the archives.
