Looking at maybe buying a set of these. Alot cheaper then West Marine at 89 bucks. But it states that it needs a 3/4 hole for mounting. I can see why, but wondering if you ever have to replace the bulb, you change it from the underside or top side. Reason I ask is that I think I'll do the same that REEL did and mount them on top of a piece of starboard.

No I don't think those would be to hot, I've seen them before and you do need a 3/4 " hole for the housing itself. Not very practical (smart).

I just ordered these, they go on the side of boat, not bow
Clearance sale $6.99 a pair!!! But you need to spend $25 for shipping?
I bought 2 new SS gas vents as i have plastic and wanted to change any way.

Nope thats not the secret!! ;)
The truth on the bilge pump is there is no room for one!!, I added a 25 gal tank o that hole and I can't fit anything ??
Thats why I asked some time ago if anyone knew if one of the wash down pumps are self priming from like 12", I could mount that out side the hole and use it as a bilge pump??
I might try something this summer?? But I have not had one now in years so its not to important to me at this point ;D
