Nav Lights Squirrely - Help

Okay, before I tear open my boat, I figured I'd ask some of the "experts" here what might be causing my problem. As many of you know, I have a small 19" Whaler CC. Here goes:

My navigation lights work intermittently. Some times they work fine, other times they don't. What is weird is that some times the port side light will work while the starboard side will not. And vice versa. As a result of this behavior, I have ruled out a blown fuse, and that the wiring is no good (although this might be the case - shorts in each wire I suppose). I replaced the bulbs at the start of this season. I have also noticed that it seems if I hit rough, pounding water, it will either make them go on or off - depending on the state they were previosuly in before I hit the wave. This has lead me to believe that possibly the bulbs are losing contact with the terminals.

Any ideas? Thanks.
