I used to use my docking lights frequently on the boats I'd had but not for running distances on open navigable waters( the real danger is how another vessel could read what you are and what your heading is) . Most every one of those boats leaked around the lights too. My new boat dosen't have them and the cabin has remained really dry.

I use mine all the time for locating Pilings and manatee signs ...the are reflective and I just pop the lites on from time to time and see the signs from about 1/2 mile ....
