docking light replacement

[kylant]

My 210 has a burnt out docking light. is replacing it just a simple swap. looks like it just has 2 wires. can i unscrew the light from the outside and gently pull the wires through the hull to swap, or do i need to get under the bow combing pad/cushions and do it there?

It MAY be a simple swap from the outside. I say may be, as I did mine a few years ago. When I took off the outside cover and pulled the light, I realized the connector on the end of the wire was cracked and ended up breaking when I pulled the bulb. It looked like the heat from the bulb and the age of the connector combined to compromise it. I had to order new bi-pin ceramic base sockets to splice in place of the old. I put in some brighter, whiter, LED bulbs and am happy with the results.
