I am installing a Windlass and I had to remove the default front NAV light. I bought these and was wondering if this is legal to install like I am showing:
Thanks,

Are they true top mount nav lights or are they just side mount models? If they are true surface/top mounts they will have 112.5 degrees of viability.
Here are some rules to read:

They are side lights. What if I drop them down to the side under where I have them would that work?

If you mount them on the side, you would need to add a block of Starboard or so thing similar to make them vertical. A simpler solution would be to return them and get some top mount side lights. Something like this:

Awesome ... thats a simpler and easier idea. I will return them and use the same location with the correct lights.
Thanks for all the help.
