If you are operating a powerboat at night and you see a red and white lights on another boat what did these lights tell you?

If you see a red and white light configuration on another boat at night, it indicates that the boat is likely a fishing vessel or a boat engaged in specific activities, as red lights typically indicate port (left) side navigation lights. The presence of white lights suggests it may be anchored or displaying all-around white lights. It's important to maintain a safe distance and be aware of your surroundings to avoid collisions. Always adhere to navigation rules when operating at night.
