LED replacements? Shark Skin mooring cover?

2020 R5 for sale.... I’m getting a canoe.

I think it's around a 31 festoon bulb.
That's what mine was. Can you get to your bulb easy? I think you can switch it. (see what I did there)

I discovered last night, by nearly burning my hand, that the nav lights in the front must not be LEDs in our 2020 R5. The enclosure gets HOT. Has anyone replaced these with LEDs?

on Amazon:

DE3175 LED Bulb, LEDKINGDOMUS 4 Pcs 31mm Marine Led Bulb Festoon 6000K Cool White 3014 Chipset Bulb For Car Interior Lights, Boat Bow/Anchor/Navigation
Sold by: LED Kingdomus

Package of 4 (for $11.54), so find some friends with Cobalts who want to do the same

I can't find the other 3 from when I did this... know I didn't toss them, they could be in the boat storage.

Thanks! Ordered some similar ones and they work well. The "bulb" seems slightly longer than the one that was in there, but was able to wedge it in. Upgraded a friends A25 as well. Now it just gets mildly warm.

Thanks OL. I ordered some today as well. My son placed his hand on the bow navigation light and got a hot surprise. Time to switch to LED's.

It's silly how much enjoyment there is in being able to help out any of the long-time chatters... but there it is....
Nice to be able to give back a little, sure have gotten a LOT of good info from this group.

Do they come on with the swim platform lights?

So I'm going to order the LED bow light, but I want to order the stern light bulb at the same time. Does anyone know the part number? I can look this weekend but I thought I might get a jump on it.

YT,

I replaced the bulb on my anchor light pole, and the bulb on top of my arch, at the same time,
on the same order... I don't know which is which (didn't keep good notes, sorry), but:

921 LED Bulb - 18 LED Tower - Miniature Wedge Base Cool White $5.95
BA9s LED Bulb - 5 SMD LED Tower - BA9s Bulb Cool White $3.95
both at superbrightleds.com

I think if you pull the pole bulb, it's obvious... at least, that's what my fuzzy memory recalls.

both were much brighter, to my eyes.

Just finished Navigation light LED upgrade. 31mm is the size.

Pics for anyone interested in doing the same. Easy-Peasy.

Did everyone just notice A7 is the only one that can post 6 pictures. What the heck.
Nice examples A7!

[greenhut]

Great pics A7. Like the LED bulb you got better than the ones I ended up with as the LED emitters wrap all the way around on yours.
