I was hoping someone could give me some advice about something I'm working on for my 1971 Nauset. I ordered the 3 piece moonstone & black rub rail set for by boat, removed the old one, and was exactly 1/2 installed, That's when it hit me, the original navigation light no longer lines up with its original mounting holes. I like the idea of a continious rub rail, plus I need to run the nav light wires inside of it due to the old wires breaking. So here's my question, do I drill 2 new mounting holes just forward of the original ones? BTW, my navigation light is original to the boat, and not a repro. The rub rail is finished and looks great...

Thanks!
