Agree with this.

Docking lights are very useful around docks but worthless in open water. If your purpose of adding them is to use around docks and trailering at night then they are worth every penny imo.

We dropped off our boat yesterday at Tommy’s in Rancho Cordova. Business as usual, and our boat is scheduled to be ready next week.
Interesting thing. The Malibu dealer finder has Tommy’s back up for the Nor Cal dealers. Maybe they worked something out.
I'm not seeing that?
I might be crazy but it was definitely there a few hours ago. You are correct, it is gone now.

My personal take on docking and other lights is that you end up blinding yourself and everyone near you with reflections or direct glare. A handheld spotlight is your best bet for navigating a channel and trying to see the buoys, etc. Turn the beam on (above the windshield), spot the marker, turn the beam off. No real need to continuously sweep the area with a beam in most cases. The more time you keep the big lights off, the better your eyes are at actually seeing things.
And don't put the spot directly on another boat if you can see his nav lights. You'll blind him and make him want to hunt you down.
