Trick photography I guess, LOL!!...... Port side was replaced with standard incandescent bulb, before I realized LED was even available. Stbd side is circa 2006!!

Still have the replacement I never installed for the stbd side. Once I did the port, I couldn't tell a difference, so I just kept the other as a future replacement. Then I went and sold the boat.

Touno - if you want it, cover shipping and it's yours. For my newly acquired 360, I'll opt for the LED.

Yep that must be the term contacts you can see but the led. Lol
What is a circa 2006? You got me on that one.

If it was me I would only put a led back in. They draw so much less amperage. Well worth that update.

At the time, I was ecstatic to find a lamp that fit and didn’t even think to source an LED option. I know better now.

The “circa 2006” stbd lamp is original from Cobalt when this 343 was born into the world!

This has been fun! Got to help out Tuono and stumped BBP the Master all in the same thread!!

While we’re on the maint topic. Before I can float need to r/r sea pump, test bilge pump, lighting and fire up stereo system. This 6’2” frame is a prob when curled up in engine compartment.
