After trying several kinds of LED lights I find these to be by far the best. They give an acceptable light quality and with all of them on I draw 5.2 amps!!!! We can do a group buy and get about a 30% discount off list. Unfortunately they do not have a replacement for the exterior lights yet. Let me know if anyone is interested. Happy Boating, Brian.

Boating in British Columbia
Some very popular boating areas in British Columbia are the Gulf Islands. The islands are protected from the winds and rains of the west coast and marine life is abundant. During the summer, you might see killer whales, seal lions, harbour seals and porpoises. Blue herons, Canada geese, bald eagles, grebes and cormorants make up the bird species found on the Gulf Islands and surrounding waters. In and around this region, are over a dozen marine parks, designated for public use. Some offer small craft floats, buoys, interesting hiking trails, picnic and sanitation facilities.Selene & Solo Trawlers Voyager Club
