Replacing stern light bulb on Hunter 26

[Rob]

I am a new Hunter 26 owner and my stern light bulb and mast light bulb are out. I haven't checked the mast light yet, but I'm hoping it is the same type as the stern. (Anyone know?)The 2 boat stores I went to had Festoon bulbs that have pointed ends rather than the flat ends on the Hunter (my bulbs look like a large fuse) They are 12V, 10W. Does anyone know of good place to find replacement bulbs?Thanks

Rob, Most RV stores have ...

the type of bulbs you need and probably any NAPA auto parts store should have them. Take the bulb with you or get the numbers off the metal base of the bulb. Good luck, Ray

Boat US has them.

Probably WM too. Look under the section of the store where the various nav lights are kept, and you can find them. I forget the brand name of the nav light - Perko?As an alternative, drill holes in the nav light brackets that hold the light bulb, then you can use the more common pointy ended bulbs.
