Many power boats put the Courtesy Flag on a whip antenna on the starboard side or on a jackstaff at the bow. You could put your US flag on a flagstaff off the starboard quarter. Remember to use the US Flag, not the US Yacht Ensign (with anchor and circular stars), as the US Yacht Ensign is approved for US waters only. As Bash said the flag is called an ensign, just don't confuse it with the US Yacht Ensign which was approved for US Yachts in the US.

Try not to put them on the same hoist or standard because nothing but the church pennant is ever flown over the US Flag, and other countries don't like it if the courtesy flag is in a second position.

Good luck
