[C320-list] LED Nav Light replacement 2004 catalina c320

[Jack Fitzgibbon]

Check out Marinebeam.com. They can provide drop in replacement LED lighting
for all Aqua-Signal and Perko fixtures and are reasonably priced. I
replaced the lens on the bow, stern and anchor light fixtures and installed
LED lights on each 2 years ago. All still functioning perfectly.  About to
replace steaming light with LED and, while I up there, the deck light as
well.
