The only thing close is this:
Saf-C 403.14 Time for Lights. Proper lighting, as required in Saf-C 403.15 and Saf-C 403.16, shall be displayed between sunset and sunrise.
Lights shall be lighted at such times and no other lights which might be mistaken for the prescribed lights shall be exhibited.
You going to have a hard time convincing me that typical docking lights can be mistaken for the prescribed lights.
Now if you want to push it, you could look at:
270:29-a Careless and Negligent Operation of Boats. – Any person who shall operate a power boat upon any waters of the state in a careless and negligent manner or so that the lives and safety of the public are endangered shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
I doubt anyone would feel this applies. It might be enough for an articulatible suspicion.
