I have a bay boat, not a kayak. These are an excellent upgrade for any boat. For $15'ish, its very affordable. These are easy to install. I drilled the holes for my wire, then removed the 3M tape backing, stuck it in place, then drilled the holes for the screws. So, they're very secure. Then I wired these to the switched wire that went to my navigation light connector/socket. Boom, working LED nav lights. The only thing about installing these that I would caution anyone about is making sure that the wire is completely in the wire hole, not mashed down outside the hole and make sure that you don't drill the screw hole too close to the wire hole. I did that on port light and shorted out the port (red) LED light. I had to order an extra set to finish the install. Still, it wasn't hard, I just didn't pay attention; its not Shoreline's fault, completely mine. These are very bright, should draw less juice than incandescent bulbs, and I can flip them on w/o having to dig out the front light post to plug in. As an added benefit, when I remove the front nav light connector, I can use that hole to run wiring for a front depth/fish finder and mount a RAM mount over the hole. When I do that, it will look like the boat originally came w/LED nav lights.
