That is probably right for nav/anchor light... Nav light are a little different in that they use two wire and reverse polarity to switch both or anchor light (diode in light). Although on small boats I'm not sure it matters.
I did the same. Can't believe how much light comes from the two lights at night. I also added the under gunnel LED strip (white or blue) from Lumitec.Only thing I've done as far as cockpit lighting, is change out the bulbs to blue LED on the steps. Here's both cockpit and the drain plug lights on while we were dockside down in the Keys.

Looking good.
The switch bases are the same as the ones you bought except they use a different switch cover (Contura XIV). They are more rectangle and not as curved. The big differences mine are set in a "frame" mounting panel from Carlon. It hold the stray light in better and doesn't splash light all over the dash. NewWire sells all this. It was a project to have them build it this way but it turned out good.Thats a style of switch I have not seen before.
