When sailing a boat in reduced visibility you should turn on and use your lights. The light s should be in the correct position and set to the correct code. If you have radar, use this to make sure you are not on a collision course with a boat with out any lights. If you believe it is to risky to navigate, anchor up for the night making sure you have the correct lights and signals.

When operating in conditions of reduced visibility, such as fog or heavy rain, reduce your speed, use your headlights, and increase following distance. Stay alert, avoid sudden maneuvers, and use windshield wipers and defrosters to maintain visibility. Consider pulling over in a safe location if visibility becomes too poor to continue driving safely.
You should always move very slowly while operating in conditions of low visibility. This is because you cannot avoid accidents if you are moving to fast.
You should do the same in Oregon as you would anywhere else...display the appropriate navigational lights whenever the boat is operated between sunset and sunrise, or during periods of reduced visibility such as fog, rain or haze. Lights conforming to International Rules meet the requirements of Inland Rules. See the link below for more specific information on required navigational lights.

In reduced visibility, it means the presence of another watercraft.
When there is snow, it is recommended to turn on your headlights so that you are more visible to other vehicles in the reduced visibility conditions. It is also a good idea to turn on your fog lights if your vehicle is equipped with them, as they can help improve visibility in snowy conditions.
If daytime visibility is poor but not seriously reduced, you should switch on your low-beam headlights. This will help increase your visibility to other drivers and make it easier for them to see you.
