    Texas Regs on Boat Lights?

    All you Texas night time boaters:<br /><br />Regulations are vague as to what lights must be used at night. <br /><br />I've got bow and stern running lights on 18'outboard. But what about when you are anchored looking at the stars or something? Do you need a light when not underway?

    1999 70 hp Johnson Runs great 10-20 minutes then...

    I just found your forum. Good questions, great advice!<br /><br /> I recently bought a boat with a 1999 70 hp Johnson (J70PLEEE) that appears to have had little use. Probably sat up for a good while. It ran great on the 20 minute demo through full engine range. But since then, I've taken it...
