Just rewired my boat , don't know how but I've managed it an everything works wtf ! . So finally put nav lights on well just the port and starboard LEDs . How important is the white one in the middle the one sometimes mounted on a pole ?

Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
you want port/stbd and all round white since I assume your wee beastie goes faster than 7 knots. You can get away without a stern light though

Boat wiring it ain't that hard if you take your time,

Anchor light if anvhoring in the dark is a good option munsey
All round light with your side lights on means a motor making way and underway, difference from a motor vessel to a yacht. Putting the light behind you i.e mounted on a stern pole reduces white glare when underway at night. If you have it on a different switch to your port and starboard lights, then you can use it as a riding light or a handy light for night fishing.

And I do hope you used marine grade or tinned copper electrical cable
Just checking - I've had to rewire a few boats where the owner seems to have gone to Repco and bought speaker wire
So I need to get these lights for my run about? It's 14 foot 6.

Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Whilst you guys are on the subject of tinned wires, when doing my apprenticeship many years ago I was taught to use 70/30% solder for all electrical gear EXCEPT marine. Wehad to use 60/40% because the 70/30 was too brittle and gave way after a few years with the vibration. The 60/40 is obviously softer but doesn't fracture with boat vibrations. I changed all contacts on my boat and never had an electrical issue all the years we had it.
