One other thing I forgot to mention earlier:
If you are approached by another boat at night, do not shine your light at the other boat.
You could blind the operator and he could run you over.
Always shine your light on your own boat so as to show the other guy you are there but don't blind him with your light shining at him.
It is a violation of FEDERAL LAW to shine a light at the helm of another boat!
The other suggestions and advice are all sound.
Good Luck with the Big Mothuas that feed at night!
