Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but USCG requirements are the 360 degree anchor light at the top and the 270 degree steaming light by the spreaders. Somebody gave me a wonderful upgrade in the past: there's a small spot built into the bottom of my steaming light, wired seperately. When I turn it on the entire bow lights up, DRASTICALLY improving night anchoring. As you can imagine, it really helps any time I have have to go forward after dark!
