Is it legal to use a Q beam on lake murray at night? I have done it in the past and have seen others do it in the past but I have heard lately it is not legal. Anybody know for sure?
I have never heard such. Seems crazy to be illegal to be safe. Common courtesy is obviously requested. i.e. dont shine other boats while underway. Their are some parts of Murray that I would want to use one for navigation, but I keep one handy while on the big water just in case a boat doesn’t see me and gets too close to shine the water around my boat to let them know where I am.

I agree. I have always used one and never had a problem.
It is not illegal to use a spot or flood light as a navigation or safety aid.

If you want to see a bunch of Q beams be on Bulls Bay the first night of the shrimp season, look like an airport!
