So the underwater lights on my boat never worked from the first day on my 2021 21se.
Rather than warranty them for something that will consistently break, I would rather just spend the money for good underwater lights.
I have a hard coat multi season hard ablative on the boat. The shop used petit Trinidad hd.
The stock ones I believe are a rectangle shape. If I replaced with round ones like a lumitech sea blaze they are round so I would need to creat a template using a marker. Then sand off the bottom paint but the circle lights won’t cover the square right.
I saw the macris lights here
And you apply them with just 4200, I would assume the old screw holes I would fill with epoxy. Make the hole with the wires bigger. Then make a template and trace the bigger lights, they are 15 inch. Then j would sand and apply with 4200.
Here is a video of the brand I am looking at but smaller and one an 18 parker.
They did the 10 inch in the video but I am thinking if I go bigger like 15 inches then I can reuse the hole from the old lights and not have to use bottom paint to touch up….
Here are the lights……

What do you think? Am I right on my thinking and process? Should I just pay the shop that did the bottom paint?
I would like to match the color of the blue lights on the boat but I will use at night to fish. Is green a better attractant?
