Shortly after I bought my Puma I noticed the swing-top covers for my Navigation Lights began to loosen. I couldnt find a way to adjust them to keep them tight and now over time they just swing freely and never offer any protection from water entering the sockets. I believe they are made by Perko and are riveted into the hull…is there an adjustment Im simply not seeing or is this just the nature of the beast with these sockets plates? If it is just how they are…is there a better product on the market I can swap these out for? Thanks..

There is a small nut on the inside that you can tighten and they will be fine. Start with the one on rear, you can go through the vent hole and get the size you need. The front one IF you can get your arm to it through the panel . Tie a string or some kind of tether to your wrench. The front one you can drill out the rivets and then re-rivet it in place after tightening it. Good luck. Bob

If you do not find them, call Scott in parts at BCB. I know the older ones had the little nut on them. BCB may have made a change. pant 2 Bob
