Anyone know how the heck you get the bi-color lense off to replace the bulb?  There is a small indent on the bottom of the fiuxture but I could not for the life of me figure it out.  I thought I might have to loosen the two screws on the back but all that did is loosen the fixture from the boat moutning plate (since they are the actual mounting screws) and now the two nuts are also loose inside that fixture (I know, I know).  I thought I was a pretty smart guy but this one has me stumped.  Help?

Joe : I wrote a Mainsheet tech note article on your very question!!  I'm sure your running lite is an Aquasignal
 
There is a very small screw slotted elongated bolt that is screwed in from the front of the fixture. It might well be corrroded so it may be a bear to remove. Unless you had it off and coated the threads with grease (copper bolt into a stainless fixture). 

Great stuff in those old Mainsheet Tech Note articles

I will look again on Saturday Ron but I did not see anything on the front at all and turned the thing every which way.

I just looked at your write-up and attached picture and mine definitely does not have the screw heads shown in the picture.   I am sure the indented push "button" on the bottom is the key to something, I just am not sure what.
