If two boats are approaching from the port (left) side, and you have a red side light, it means they are on a collision course with your vessel. You should take immediate action to avoid a collision by altering your course or speed.
When two boats are approaching each other head-on, both vessels are required to take action to avoid a collision. In this situation, neither boat is designated as the stand-on vessel; instead, both should alter their course to starboard (right) to pass safely. However, if visibility is poor or the situation is unclear, it's important for both vessels to communicate and take necessary precautions to prevent an accident.
power boat
When operating a powerboat at night, your red sidelight must be visible to boats approaching from the port (left) side. This is important for indicating your vessel's orientation and direction of travel to others. Additionally, your green sidelight on the starboard (right) side should be visible to boats approaching from the starboard side. Proper visibility of these lights helps prevent collisions and ensures safe navigation.

the length of the boat
A green sidelight must be visible to boats approaching from the right (starboard) side. This is part of the navigation rules that help mariners determine the direction of another vessel's movement. The green light indicates that the vessel is facing the observer's left side, meaning it is navigating towards them.
If you are operating a powerboat at night your green side light must be visible to boats approaching over an arc of the horizon 112.5 degrees and so fixed as to show the the light from right ahead to 22.5 degrees abaft of the beam on its respective side.
