Stern Light Bulb

My stern light bulb burnt out and I keep forgetting to bring it home. Is this a bulb I can pick up at Auto Zone or do only Marine places have it? Does anyone know the bulb part #? Any help would be appreciated. I'd like to do a nice cocktail cruise when I get up tomorrow night.

This is the style light I have. Not the best picture but it's the only one I could find on my phone.

Thanks,

I'd stop by Pep Boys and pickup an assortment of single element bulbs. #1056 is a single element, I'd guess 1056 but also look around and take 3-4 different sizes. Bulbs are cheap compared to river time.

Hey. Good to see ya posting here again.

Ha! I like your thinking! I figured if no one answered this thread I'd just buy a half dozen or so on the way home form work.

I think Walmart sells those stern lights in their "marine" section. Maybe pop in there and open one up and see what bulb it is. I think Walmart sells bulbs too.

We're changing everything over to led. Leave the lights on all nite does ' t even ding the batteries

X2, switch it to LED, so much cleaner and brighter :thumbup: I even think I saw a complete post at Walmart that was LED.

Cool! I'll check out WallyWorld! I like the LED idea. :thumbup:

RV supply places are starting to really offer a nice line of LED replacement bulbs so you don't have to change out the fixture.

Just bought a Stern and Bow LED lights from Kmart in Havasu about $15

Not only do I have that, I have a friend that remembered me saying I need one last time we were at the river together and gave me this at lunch today. :thumbsup

So it was a #1004....damnit I hate when I miss it by a couple of dozen #'s.

Didn't end up finishing at work til 8pm Friday night and I forgot about a prior commitment I had on Saturday which I was reminded of Friday night driving home from work. Can't wait til this weekend!

I hate it when my lights are strict:rolleyes

OK. What bulb is in the stern light on a 32. Scared to take it out. Afraid of breaking the original lens.

Is that the recessed flat 180* (maybe only 165-170*) mounted in the stern? Might have been provided by Atwood. Don't recall the numbers but I think its a double ended bulb, one contact at each end and kinda 'rolls' into the fixture. I think that used an automotive dome light bulb.

Don't forget to pickup white corn at Walmart to go with your stern lights. Should be white corn sale season any time now!

Which ever stern light, round or square, you have... Several manufactures (perko, attwood, whitecap) they still make both versions. So if you break the lens it's not really that big of a deal.

Your forward mast head light is a different story.

Don't have the forward mast light. So that's what goes in that mount. Where could I find one?

Not sure who carries it, but Perko does still offer one in their Catalog
