MarcoFishHippie Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Prepare for a dumb question ... Anyone ever use the front running lights on their boat? The front running lights on my boat (2001 RF 16) weren't working, so I figured it must be the bulbs. When I unscrewed the assembly I was surprised to find there were no bulbs, no wires, no nothing! Basically it appears the lights are merely for show! I think it may be academic because I can't figure out how I could snake a wire through the hull. If anyone has dealt with this, please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2000 RF 16 Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Try to find the old wires, test them to see if they work or pull new wire replace lights with LED lights. I liked the marpac LED nav lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcoFishHippie Posted November 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Thanks again. I figured it out. I fished around in the anchor locker and found the wires and assembly for both lights. I'll work on replacing them. The list keeps growing...

MarcoFishHippie Posted November 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 I found replacements at West Marine. These are made by Sea Choice. Model 05151, Around $32 for the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigsnook35 Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 You can just switch out the bulbs in those with a LED replacement and save some coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
