If I remember correctly (and this is based on reading only), the Nav lights are Coast Guard certified only if the light and the bulb are certified. If you replace the bulb with anything else (other than what the light was certified with), you, at least theoretically, lose the certification of th

Unfortunately they all talk to each other now, so at some point MA will find out from USCG that you bought a boat and want whatever MA state sales tax is on the purchase price. USCG has nothing to do with the tax, other than letting MA know that a transaction happened. So, Pay till it hurts! (

Running lights that meet the criteria prescribed by the USCG are mandated for original equipment installation by the boat manufacturer. As an owner, you can use any bulb or fixture you chose – with the provision that your choice must meet or exceed the requirements of the ColRegs for visibility.

The coast guard doesn't collect the taxes; just the documentation change fee and any fees involved in registering the lien if there is a mortgage on the boat. The documentation change fee used to be $90, but I seem to recall it was going up to something like $125. If the sale is through a broke

In Washington state you still need to register your boat and pay the sales tax and annual vessel registration fee. If documented you don't need to display the state number on the bow, but do need a current state sticker on each side of the boat (we put them on either side of the mast). Ymmv st

Bill, LEDs generate light at a given frequency (color) based on the "impurities" on the chip. Those are carefully controlled impurities; but can not be mixed for wide color spectrum. So a red or green led will be tuned for that color and all the power goes into that color. Most likely their b

In addition, the white light gets filtered by the red or green lens, cutting out other frequencies (colors). The power that went into generating the unwanted colors is lost. (Not fully applicable to single 'bulb' tri-color lights, there you have to live with the losses) Leslie. -

Strictly speaking, that's not true. You don't need to live with a white LED to replace the bayonet mount white incandescent bulb. When I installed my 5 mile tricolor and anchor light fixture, the guy at the LED supplier (as I said, I think it was Dr.LED) asked if I was using a Hella or an Aqua
