§ 103.10. Head-on situations.
(a) When two power-driven boats are meeting on reciprocal or nearly reciprocal courses in a manner that involves risk of collision, each shall alter its course to starboard—right—so that each shall pass on the port—left—side of the other.
(b) A head-on situation shall be deemed to exist when a boat sees the other ahead or nearly ahead and by night it could see the masthead lights of the other in a line or nearly in a line or both sidelights and by day it observes the corresponding aspect of the other boat.
(c) When a boat is in doubt as to whether such a situation exists, it shall assume that it does exist and act accordingly.
