I would say 98% of non-commercial boats that should have an anchor ball or motoring cone do not have them or use them. Joe Coquina

I'm not saying that its not a good idea but I thought that the requirements for anchor dayshapes and lights was eliminated while in a charted anchorage or in a mooring field. Or is it just while on s mooring? Or am I just mistaken altogether?

But I bet they don’t sell many. I’d not have a clue as to where you could go to buy a steaming cone. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen either one of these actually being used by a small boat. I do occasionally see day shapes displayed on the larger shrimp trawlers in our waters, but not often.

Though, I should have said that professionals should not apply (;-). I don’t have the day shapes either, but I have to say that a long while ago I used to sail on a boat that regularly displayed the black ball when anchoring. And we used to carry both the black ball and the black cone. However, I don’t remember ever displaying the inverted cone. And I don’t think I ever saw an inverted cone displayed.
