Rules of the Road USCG Question #1669 (Set 22)

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which is TRUE for a towing light?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — is yellow in color

Rule 24(c) defines the towing light as a yellow light having the same characteristics as the stern light. The stern light is defined in Rule 21(c) as an unbroken white light showing over an arc of 135 degrees. Thus, the towing light is yellow and shares the same arc requirements.
