I have purchased a all-around stern light for my jon boat and I'm not clear on the "letter of the law" about placement. The majority of the new boats you see have the stern light on the starboard side of the boat. I have seen photo's of others that have their stern light on the port side. Is there a specific reqirement for one side or the other?
The reason I ask is that I will have my deep cycle battery for the trolling motor on the port side and the gas tank for the outboard motor on the starboard side. I would rather not run wires near the gas tank even if it is encased in pvc/conduit.
