I probably won't get a chance to swap out the bulb until Monday so no problem waiting. I can buy it locally on my way to the boat, so I was just hoping to get the number.

I'm headed there again first thing. I will post you the numbers

Thanks for the offer! I really just need the bulb number for now so I can swap it out. If you really wanted to get rid of your old lights I wouldn't mind having them just in case one of mine goes bad.

According to my book it is a #90 bulb

Thanks! That's what it was. I had some time this morning so I ran down and changed it. I have a spare for the other side since it's probably just a matter of time before that one needs to be replaced.

Do you have a link to the led replacements you got? Are you happy with them? The bow lights are literally the only on the boat I haven't changed to LEDs and just not 100% sure which to go with...

I'm still interested in your old lights if you want to get rid of them. Mine are pretty pitted.
I was also wondering about the LED replacements you used. What do they look like, where did you get them, and how much were they?
Not sure if I want to spend too much on those for LED conversion since when the running lights are on the engines are running, but if they are cheap enough I might consider the swap just because mine are pitted.
I am considering the LED swap for the anchor light and cabin lights since I use them with the motors turned off. The cabin light fixtures that are cone shaped don't appear to be a problem, but the rectangular ones with the plastic covers have me a bit cncerned. I'm not sure how the replacements for those things will work.

On the interior lights, another member replaced just the bulbs and it looked nice. All of my running lights with LEDs. My bow lights were pitted and leaking, so you may not want them, but I will be happy to ship them to you. I bought all my lights from WM (I think) they weren't cheap.... Get with Shuan, he has the best luck finding LEDs on EBay at good prices

Any tips on purchasing LEDs?

I got me some dual contact, bayonet style, 12v globes for anchor and nav lights, but all the LEDs had slightly offset "bayonet" bits sticking out the sides. They obviously didn't seat properly in the sockets.

The originals are not stamped with part #s

Here is a link to ebay for cabin lights. I replaced all of my cabin plastic lights with these. They are inexpensive, more modern looking, much smaller and WAY brighter!! I couldn't be happier with them.
