The stern lights on our new used Hatt are corroded, and also regular incandescent lights.
Are there possibly replacement lights available in higher output LED or are these possible to refinish somehow?
Thanks!

Re: exterior lights corroded, replace or refinish?
I replaced all the NAV lights right away. The Seachoice stern light you buy off the rack fits right in like the original, but now it's an LED. It's less than 15 bucks and I don't see the need to get fancy back there.
However, I replaced the NAV lights with new 3-mile LED Hellas and it made the entire boat look better. (about $130 each) Taking the old black plastic NAV lights off the bridge was probably the first thing I did to the boat. To get to the screws inside, I could crush the old light with my hand...it was so sun-rotted.

Your nav lights are 32v so make sure you put the correct bulb/LED in there.

I second the LEDs. I recently did the same, replaced all the original incandescent nav lights with the new LED Hellas. It makes a big difference.
Best regards,

33V rating probably won't work on a 32v system since that will get up to 36v.
