How in the world do I change this foredeck light bulb?

I'm in Seattle, actually - getting ready for fall and winter - I'd guess your sailing season is still in full swing, eh?

What do ya mean by getting ready for winter all that means here is break out the long johns and oilskins some of the best winds are in the winter.

That's what I did on mine which are spreader lights. Although mine were held in with plastic split rings and the LED wouldn't quite fit. Ended up drilling a small hole on either side of fixture. A couple of small, self tapping screws secured the new bulb the same way a home light secures the globe over the light.

Edit: if you have just the metal rings, I don't believe there is a problem with the LED replacement.

Oh we're definitely still rolling, and will be throughout the fall/winter most likely. We're sailing to Blake Island this weekend for some overnight fun.

Take a trip down to gig harbor for a weekend sail to then there is quartermasters harbor between fashion and Maury island. Good clamming and even a beach to get oysters
