Days are short in winter Bob, maybe if you had a breakdown and were still out in the dark you would have to use the lights to be seen, that might be a point of needing them on the boat. You never know, I guess you have to be prepared. Maybe it's the wording, display means have them on, maybe the law isn't clear enough to state that the lights have to also be in the boat at all times, I don't know.
grump away
hardcore fishermen pay the price for bored epo guys in the winter I guess, time to go
