Teresa—

It would help if you said what LED tri-color and anchor light you had installed. It doesn't sound like you've installed a dedicated LED fixture, like the OrcaGreen Marine or Lopo Lights units, but just replaced the bulb in a standard fixture, like an Aquasignal 40 series, with an LED replacement bulb, like those sold by Dr. LED.

Adding ferrite cores to the power cables may help, but knowing what LED lights you're using will greatly speed up tracking down what the issues are.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
