Has anyone replaced or relocated the factory spot on the 340 DA? (I have a 2002 generation.) I have noticed at night that there is a meaningful amount of glare on the stainless bow rail and rail support when using the spot. When you're trying to keep your night vision, it's really troublesome to have that reflecting back at you. It's gotten to where I don't even use it, and prefer my handheld spot, which has a narrower beam, and causes less glare, even though it's going over the whole bow from the helm position. It's a real drag not being able to effectively use that spot coming into a dark mooring field. Anyone else have a problem with this? It seems like the light has to either be moved so that the cowling around the lens is forward of the edge of the rail, or mounted somewhere else. There's a "spot" vs "Flood" option on the control panel, but they both seem to have enough beam leakage to cause the glare.
