Marinette Boat Forum

The forward beaming light on my deck is old and weathered. I am interested in replacing it.

What have you used for this folks? Any suggestions? I must be using wrong wording because my searches only pull up SAILBOAT steaming lights.

Seeking your wisdom and experience on this.

Thanks in Advance.

Try Masthead light. Search West Marine or Defender to explore options. You can call either place for guidance.

You may also want to check the sterm white light - they tend to wear out on M's. Between the fwd white light (180 degree coverage) and the stern (ditto), you get 360 degree white steaming light coverage. If West Marine doesn't have it, try going to the mfr web site -- one would be Perko.
If your light is just "weathered" meaning the finish has worn, consider just refinishing it (and check the wire connectons) and getting a modern LED bulb.

UPDATE: HAve you tried this page. as you play around the page, there's an item showing required power boat lites.

also, if you do a lot of nite navigation from the flybridge, check into a telescoping pole which raise the light above your eye line and reduces nite blindness from the relatively bright lite

Joel,
Don't really need it but wanted to say "Great idea!!!" on the use of a telescoping pole idea!!!
