Has anyone been able to find an LED replacement for the transom light (The one above the swim deck?) What about for the front dock lights?

I never really used the transom light so I moved the wires to a LED underwater light that screws in the plug hole. If you take the plug out all the time, not convenient, but you could use quick connectors. It is very bright at night and was only 60$ they had several colors available.
The original bulb I believe is a type 71 festoon bulb 12v 10 watt (.83 amps) You should look at your bulb to see what the number is.

As for the dock lights, do you mean your front navigation light? I replaced my bow light with something like this:
https://www.boatid.com/eddie-marine/eddie-marine-pop-up-bow-light-2132962104.html?offermpnid=4565843052&view=907829&utm_source=microsoft&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=268680546&utm_content=1174279297766786&msclkid=3a90fbd79b7715ebbb88a531a033488c
It eliminates the problem of a bow line or shore line breaking the plastic fixed Perko nav light housing. I purchased mine from a go-fast boat supplier and got a purple anodized aluminum bezel that makes it even more snazzy. There are many versions of this type of light if you google, all around 150$, they all have LEDs
If you are talking about the white docking lights, you can likely find a replacement bulb on the first site I linked, SuperbrightLEDs.com I have bought stuff from them before (Stern light LED bulb) and had great service. Just look at the bulb base and see what number the bulb is, there will be a LED equivalent.
