On our 97 Z252 with a power anchor light, the stem works fine, but the light won't come on. I put a new bulb in, but no change.

What next? Should I replace this with a new LED light?

is it getting power?

I'm sorry. Yes the power stand extends, but the light won't work.

Check the contacts where the bulb attaches for corrosion. Clean them up, and retry. Corrosion is a big issue on our boats for some reason, and sometimes just cleaning the contacts fixes a lot of issues.

Even if something's wrong with it, the good news is, you can still buy a replacement. The company is called Innovative Lighting. Here's a link to their new model of the Powerlight, which uses LED's!

I replaced all my bulbs (including my stern light bulb) with LED's, and they work great. I did a writeup for the board in the How To section, check it out, it has the part numbers and photos and everything to help you out!

Sorry for the late reply. Turned out to be a loose ground inside the unit. Opened it up, cleaned it up and we were good to go.

Hi MAJIC.

Better late than never... glad you were able to resolve you light issue, those NAV lights are extremely important during the evening hours!
