No worries. Glad you found a work around using the plastic screws and hope to
learn how you make the final fix.

On Saturday I screwed the forward covers on with nylon screws, and the fuse
didn’t blow. The lights ran all night.
I didn’t take the time to do further diagnostic procedures this weekend, but
will report back when I do.
Riley the toe rail is aluminum, but the SS screws I was using go into the
Are the plastic lenses (red/green) a complete dome or just a partial dome?
If partial, is one of the bases of the LED festoon bulb contacting the
metal dome of the fixture?
If you think this might be thecase, look for electrical contact marks on
the inside of the metal dome. Cover the inside of t
So the screws touching the stemhead are causing a short? Usually the light

Let us know if the nylon screws solve the short. If so, you definitely have
a short in some wiring running in the channel at the deck/hull joint that
is touching a bolt causing a short circuit through the toe rai
Try troubleshooting with only one fixture, while the others aren't screwed
down. Then screw the cover on without the bulb inserted. If that doesn't
blow the fuxe, try it with the bulb inserted. If that blows the fuse,
reverse the bulb in the socket. If the problem still persists, rewire the
fixture
