My point is it is a "Stern" light. Unless someone is approaching you from behind they will not see it. Period. Someone stands to make some money selling light. Lobbyist getting paid from some large marine parts distributor.

An omnidirectional anchor light does not strobe. Are they saying that it should also strobe? They don't know enough to understand the difference. Most small boats do not have separate anchor and stern lights. They are one and the same. Does it become a strobe? Small boats that have only one light, when alternating would be a distraction to the driver.

This is just one example of additional legislation that does not enforce the existing legislation that should have deterred the accident to begin with. There are already laws in place that aren't working. For every argument for the marine sanitation device inspection law, the big boat issues, this issue, and others there are existing laws to counter the argument. If those laws are being ignored, why do you think new ones won't be as well?
