Another modification (I made) was to replace the single combination bow light with separate port and starboard LED lights so that the bowsprit no longer blocks the bow light, even when the sprit is raised.
The lights are mounted to a 3-sided aluminum bracket (that is shaped like a square with one side missing). The bracket is about the same width as the bowsprit, and the LED running lights are mounted to the sides of the bracket so the visibility to the front is not blocked. I used Hella NaviLED lights rated 2nm (shown).
