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

Re: LED replacements? Shark Skin mooring cover?
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.okielaker wrote: Sun Sep 08, 2019 4:16 pm on Amazon:

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

Re: LED replacements? Shark Skin mooring cover?
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.

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.

Re: LED replacements? Shark Skin mooring cover?
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.
