I may try and add a 12 volt lighting coil to my outboard, but it remains to be seen how easy and cheap that will be. My engine is the pull-start only version with no charging system at all.

FleaBay LEDs are usually cheap enough that you can get a few duds and still come out ahead. One of my less-than-good outcomes was making an “aquarium light” anchor light. Aquarium light LEDs are sealed in silicone rubber waterproof strips. The danged thing was so bright the entire boat was lit up like daylight and every bug in the river showed up. I decided that having the bugs 55 feet over my head was better….

The 1142s are 2 pin 2 contact bulbs used in a lot of cabin lights, but not common in cars. If you are not careful shopping you get 1157s which have offset pins and use the shell as a contact for 3 total connections (dim-bright).
