    There is a river bank going across the middle distance, and high ground in the background which suggests the upper Yare or maybe south of Somerleyton.

    Strumpshaw fen, or perhaps the farm buildings on Postwick marshes.

    Good guess but nope.

    Another hint, It's on the Northern Broads :10_wink:

    Weekend On Board

    Ros and I will be up to the boat tomorrow afternoon for the weekend.

    Will go out for a cruise Saturday and hopefully wild moor up for the evening.

    Then it will be bacon butties in the morning and a lazy afternoon on board watching the British Grand Prix, should be a fantastic weekend, especially if Lewis wins :default_drink_2:

    How To Remove Navigation Lamp Cover

    They look very similar to the ones on No Worries - lamp is probably 12v 5w festoon. We thought of going LED when we swapped all the cabin lights out but heard it was difficult to get the right colour/temperature as as the engine would be running when they're on didn't bother in the end.

    Wouldn't be so much for saving battery power. Most automotive lamps are canbus friendly anyhow so have a resistor to load them up thus negating any power saving to be had!

    It was more to do with lamp life longevity and not having to change them so often.

    Thats the theory anyhow :10_wink:

    dependant upon the bulb type / fitting you should be able to get a direct LED replacement

    eg here -http://www.bedazzled.uk.com/12v_LED_Bulb_Replacement.htm

    By the way, 

    My other half and I run an electronics shop so no problem ordering replacement lamps but not being able to get into the light I'm not sure what is in there to get the equivalent replacement.

    It's a nuisance as I could have armed myself with them when next up there rather than having to take dud out and then order replacement and re fit on next visit to boat :2_grimacing:

    We have no starboard illumination coming from the light and I presume its the bulb that has failed.

    I undid the small screw but the cover does not seem to want to come off. Didn't want to force it so just asking if there is a knack to it's removal.

    I don't have a close up off the offending light but if any of you can recognise it from the attached  photo would be great.

    If and when I get it open can anyone recommend an l.e.d. alternative bulb to replace the filament one with?
