Boat is a 2014 220WA I am replacing my port and starboard navigation lights with LEDs. I am also pulling and replacing the original wires with 16ga marine wire. The switch is a two position rocker, one position for nav lights and one for anchor light. I’m not sure how the lights are wired now but I am wiring them in parallel. I haven’t taken a close look at the switch yet to see if it has separate connectors for port and starboard. If it does not, should I run each power and ground to the switch terminals and add an inline fuse to each power wire or can I run a pigtail with an in-line fuse for power and ground off the switch and use a step-up butt connector to connect the individual nav light wires to the pigtails. I want to make sure I do this the right way. There is no problem with wiring access. Thanks

Isn't that on a circuit breaker already? Your fused right off the battery , then circuit breakers on the switch panel. Look at duplex tinned wire, much easier to pull .

Yep, just wire it like it was. Those LED's should be really low amps (but check) so you should have no issue running them together.
