Hi, Anybody have a prt number for a replacement incandescent or LED bulb for the tri-color bow running light on a Hunter 41DS?
I know the SBO parts store has both but I'm in Avalon and need one now- no time to order.
Thanks

It appears that you need a BAY15d bulb...... West Marine?? or any other marine supply, I would bet Autozone may have that bulb

That nav light is Bi-Color (Red/Green)

Reiterating @DayDreamer41 post - the bulbs in nav lights are going to be one of three standard bulbs. I suggest you pop the thing open (probably does not require a tool or anything) and examine it. Compare it with these photos on Marinebeam (https://store.marinebeam.com/replacement-bulbs/) and find out what you need. The numbers (15D for example) are measurements of the the contacts in MM, but the differences are so far apart that you can estimate. There is not a 14 mm, 15 mm and 16 mm option to choose from. The term "indexed" on the bayonet bulbs indicates that the pins on the side prevent it from being inserted in the holder in the wrong polarity. As with all sailboat parts, there is no standard "Hunter 41 2001) standard part like they have for cars -- it's much more informal. They installed what was in the bin, by whatever manufacturer was cheap the week before. After you get through your Avalon emergency (where you will buy a spare for next time!), I suggest picking up some high-quality LED's. I got mine for reliability more than energy savings.
