Replacing NAV Lights in 310

Brunet33

I'm trying to figure out how to replace the bulbs in my red/green nav lights on the front of my 2005 310 FV. Can I just change the bulbs or do I need to replace the entire housing as well? Any help would be great.

Thanks!

I just replaced mine with LED's.  They use less power and look much brighter.  You also don't have to worry about them burning out at the wrong time.  I couldn't figure out how to get the old ones open so I broke mine off.

I replaced mine with the Attwood LED lights. Best money I spent.

I got mine from Great Lakes Skipper. http://greatlakesskipper.com/attwood-3500-series-ss-green-plastic-boat-2-nm-led-side-light-port-stbd-pair

@Cableguy Greg do you have the part number that you used for your nav lights. I bought LED bulbs for mine but after looking closer I want to replace the entire assembly on both sides. I'm hoping they have an LED option that uses the same screw holes?

I used these ones from Attwood. 3550R7 & 3550G7 Unfortunately they did not use the same screw holes. I sealed the existing holes with 4000UV when I set the new ones in place. I believe that I got them from Amazon, but you can find them cheaper elsewhere.

I just ordered these off Amazon, I guess this must be the current version. For some reason finding surface mount LED lights is harder than I expected. 

The pictures of these and yours makes them look so small like they won't be bright enough. But they are 2nm and USCG approved.
