Nothing until you get hit and your minesweeper towing a fishing boat while dredging lights did not accurately portray what you were really doing. It does really annoy some people to see odd lights that make no sense. OTOH the local powerboaters seem to vary between no lights at all and random collections of lights they got from Ebay.

When coastal their height limits their usefulness. People are looking around the horizon for lights not 30 to 60 feet in the air when coastal. Never have tricolor on and deck running lights on at the same time. Nor have a tricolor on and steaming light on at the same time. Never use an anchor light unless you're anchored. And it's my understanding that there was no real purpose first strobe other than confusing the observer.

I prefer to use the deck lights in the bay because it is easier to judge distance. Offshore are use the masthead so the lights are visible for a greater distance and in the swells Chuck you are correct that you can use one or the other but not both.

Just want to do what's right on my boat this summer on Chesapeake Bay. I believe you can use either but never both deck lights and the masthead tri-color. Also thought I read that the masthead tri-color was intended for offshore and not allowed inshore so I may never use it.
