The only downside is length of wire and possible bulb changes.
Also, you need to keep in mind smaller vessels. They won't
necessarily be looking up in the air in close quarters.

At least a steaming light is somewhat easier to get at.

I was working on my port light this morning, and the socket is a bit
tired. One
of my buddies appeared and asked me if I wanted a masthead light set. If
he's
remembering correctly, it has the tri-color, an anchor light and strobe.
I'm thinking of taking it...any problems with masthead nav lights instead
of
those set in the hull?
I think I may even have the wiring already in place, but my mast is coming
down
this year in any case.
