LED navigation lighting options?

[Kevin1741]

For those of you who changed your lighting what do you guys recommend. I'm assuming I can just change the bulb in the pool light? What options do I have for the bow? Thanks.

This is the one I got. Although can't remember if it was the 1 mile or 2 mile light. Both are acceptable.

I used the two mile version and have been very happy with it.

Is it a direct replacement? Do I have to drill anymore holes?

For mine the holes didn't quite line up, so yes I drilled 2 new holes. Super easy though, just put the base plate down, mark the holes with a pencil and drill. Use masking tape on the fiberglass to keep the gel coat from chipping.

Perfect. I'm going to order it up. So as far as the pole light, did you change that bulb? how about the pole bulb?

I have a Samson tower on my SX 240 so I added a LED anchor light to the top of the tower that is sold through Samson. I discontinued the use of the pole light. But yes you could switch out that bulb with an LED version. I'm not sure what kind of bulb it is, so I bet you could take it out, then find the same bulb on Amazon or a local LED light store.

Also, the bulb in your OEM nav light is a festoon bulb. If you don't want to change the whole assembly you can just swap the festoon bulb with an LED version.
