Re: Converting my Amel 54 to lithium batteries: what I did, what I like and what I don't like (after one year of full time live aboard use)
Thanks again, Scott, for all your thoughts and help on this topic. I wanted to share with the group a quite technical article I downloaded quite some time ago based upon advice from the Delos guys.

Re: Aqua Signal Series 44 LED port/starboard bow nav lights
Thanks Ryan, that's very helpful.
No issues with the wiring? One of buyer commented on the wiring connections that came with the package.
Also, did you go with the black or white fixtures?
Thanks

Glad to provide my experiences in hopes that it helps someone else. I have gotten so much value out of this forum that I'm happy to give back whenever I can, which admittedly isn't that often.

I agree with Scott entirely, from my experience now with five larger boats in the past 20 years and many issues with particularly batteries and chargers, when things go wrong it becomes a blame game

Re: Aqua Signal Series 44 LED port/starboard bow nav lights
See here:

Aqua Signal Series 44 LED port/starboard bow nav lights
Has anyone replaced the SM original Aqua Signal series 40 port and startboard bow nav lights with the Series 44 LED lights. It looks like it could be pretty straightforward, but:
