This invention provides an improved motorboat lighting system in which the motorboat has a transmission which includes a light emitting warning element secured to the motorboat and an apparatus for automatically energizing the light emitting warning element in response to a transmission position of the motorboat. Finally, this invention provides a method for warning boats in the vicinity of a motorboat having a transmission which includes providing a light emitting warning element positioned on the motorboat to illuminate in an outward direction from the motorboat and connecting the light emitting warning element to a power source with a circuit, and providing a switch in the circuit to close the circuit and energize and illuminate the light emitting warning element with the transmission in a particular position.
