The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) marine unit has issued a warning regarding improper boat lighting, emphasizing the importance of proper illumination for safety during nighttime navigation. They advise boaters to ensure all lights are functioning correctly and to regularly exercise remote-controlled spotlights to prevent mechanical issues. Additionally, the OPP recommends using high-powered handheld spotlights as backups and suggests that larger boats should be equipped with both remote and handheld lights to cover all needs and serve as backups in case of equipment failure.
