    Robalo2440 1995 Nav light needs repaired

    Good you found something but I see more than just the glare at night issue. The light is not taller than your Bimini top, so the light will not be seen all around which doesn't work for Regs. Most any electrical shop will have conduit benders. You could get one longer and bend to fit, or get...

    MerCruiser 140 (’68–’82) choke tube missing – alternative or electric choke conversion?

    any roofers here?

    Another issue with metal if you have snow or ice, it can slide off and kill someone. If you use metal put things up there to keep things from sliding off
