If you have a sailing auxiliary under 20 meters, it's pretty straight
forward.
If you are under sail, then you are a sailing vessel and a mast head
mounted tri-color that meets the COLREGS does the job.
If you are under power, then you are a power boat requiring a steaming
light, port and starboard marking lights and aft white light.
When you are under way under either condition, some instrumentation
lighting is also required.
A very basic lighting cross interlocked lighting system is required. A
couple of DPDT, 2 position switches and a couple of blocking diodes to
supply the instrument lighting and it's time to get a beer.
No need to sweat the small stuff.
When I put a tri-color on my last boat, it was very straight forward to
convert the OEM crap supplied by the builder to power boat marking
lights.
I will use the same configuration on the boat I'm building.
As my father used to say, "Sometimes it pays to use what is kept between
your ears for something other than a hat rack".
