Yea agreed next time will be different (and LED) As a newbie boat owner This was one of the first projects I wanted to tackle removing those badly crazed Nav lights they were on sale and thought a minimal investment easy to switch with no mount or wire isssues for a nice noticeable Change. Then.... I heard all the benefits and suggestions on LED but too late :( At the moment I don't cruise a lot and only got stuck out for 1 night time arrival so far where I even used lights. I did have a few small trial trips planned this year and my first week long with our local club which will start with a night sail! So good motivation to get finished. I do plug in so amps and such were not of concern (is now) I even went to 1 starter as recommended when I changed out my charger with the pronautic which is working great !! I thought this would be easy and I did get 2 of the 3 done as well as mast deck light (full of water) by the yard, from the bucket while they were adding new windex But this last one is keepin it real! I am close to boat now for quarantine and hope to use this time for more projects They started dredging our channel this week, and need to finish by end of season 3/31! So getting out this week is not really recommended So Breaking out the list Bow Light Wheel pilot crunching not working Water pressure Then the spring checklist Will post others do not want to Hijack this thread Be safe all!

I had a bitch of a time removing mine, and I replaced them with MarineBeam N1-112, https://store.marinebeam.com/led-port-starboard-navigation-side-lights/ They are wonderful. Super bright, Sealed, I am glad I did it.
