Blue Accent Lighting

Dan are you sure your not allowed while anchored now? I purchased a new boat from Irwin two years ago with blue underwater lights. They usually will not install accessories that are illegal on the lake. I am very curious now.

I am not sure that is correct. A friend ordered and bought a new boat from a dealer on the lake with switchable exhaust when that was illegal. I think some dealers may tell you if something is illegal but many are just profit motivated and you know how that works..................

If I have a chance later I’m going to research. They specifically told me I cannot use them underway but could while anchored.

Positive, unless the law has changed in the last couple years. The warning not only occurred with me but with a few others while watching the fireworks anchored in Wolfeboro bay. The Marine Patrol officer nicely asked me to turn them off as they were illegal in the state. I confirmed what he said by contacting someone I know in the NH Marine Trades Association. From what I remember, these lights are only legal when docked.

If you want to be certain in case the law has changed recently , I would call Marine Patrol.
