Our weekend after-dark cruises on the pontoon boat have become less than relaxing... we've been seeing more boats & PWC underway without lights, boats passing too close, overtaking us & cutting across our bow, on-coming boats who don't give clear indications to which side they intend to pass, and just MORE TRAFFIC. I am thinking about putting larger lights for and aft, but was wondering about some other ideas. Would a white flashing beacon be a legal device? What are the rules for using my docking lights while underway? And finally, is there a universal maritime signal for "I can't believe you just did that"?

Ideas for increasing safety at night are welcome... anyone?
