What are the rules on the docking lights? Only use when pulling into marina, or just at dock/slip/ramp? But, not use when cruising?

Yes, docking lights may only be used while docking. The only lights to be used while underway are red/green side lights that can be seen from 1 mile away and an all-around white light that is visible from 2miles away.

Navigation Light Requirements - Overview and Powered Vessels | | Boat Ed.com™
Power-Driven Vessels Less Than 65.6 Feet Long When Underway

If less than 65.6 feet (20 meters) long, these vessels must exhibit the lights as shown in Figure 1. Remember, power-driven vessels include sailboats operating under engine power. The required lights are:
  • Red and green sidelights visible from a distance of at least two miles away—or if less than 39.4 feet (12 meters) long, at least one mile away—on a dark, clear night.
  • An all-round white light (if vessel is less than 39.4 feet long) or both a masthead light and a sternlight. These lights must be visible from a distance of at least two miles away on a dark, clear night. The all-round white light (or the masthead light) must be at least 3.3 feet (one meter) higher than the sidelights.

The red and green lighting must conform to the illustration. Red should be on the port (left side) of the bow and green on the starboard (right side) of the bow.
