Three years ago, when I bought a new boat the first thing I did was buy a 20 foot joint of .25" x 2" galv flat bar to raise the lights up above the top of the boat. I have not had any problems with these lights.
On the Yellow side lights..... after 2 years I had 2 of them stop working and a fuse was blowing so none of the trailer lights would work.
What I found was that the Yellow lights were installed wrong. When the light was installed, the hole for the wire to pass through was drilled about an inch to the other side. This caused the wire to be "pinched" between the light and the trailer causing it to break off the insulation and short out the fuse.
I replaced the 2 bad lights and drilled new holes for all the light wires. All lights working a year later.
