Re: Navigation lights on a pilothouse?
There are specific regulations for the type and location of navigations lights per type and size of boat. I assume that you are asking about red and green side lights on a boat similar to the one you have pictured in the post above. It is common to put them on the wheelhouse roof on boats of that type, but they also have to be positioned properly in relation to the other nav lights carried. IMO regs require two metres vertical separation between side lights and masthead light, although most national agencies allow this to be reduced to one metre on boats under about eight metres LOA. It is usual to place the side lights within L-shaped screens that limit the visible arc of the lights. The inner surface of these screens are usually painted black.

Hope for the best, but plan for the worst.
