    Brewfixer did you by chance replace the transom light and if so is it the same bulb as the courtesy lights? I'm ordering these and I failed to check that fixture.

    Nope, the transom light bulb is completely different size than the courtesy bulbs...

    I was goping to look at that this last weekend but was having too much fun. I also noticed how easy it was to access the instrument cluster lights and will be converting those over to LED as well.

    Well you know we're all going to ask you the bulb size/# and how easy it is to do. Something tells me my 260 will be harder to do since my head is located against the helm. I do have an access panel on that wall in the head but it's been in the 90's down here so I don't think I'll do this until the fall or in cooler temps

    Well you know the intent is there but like last week, too many big boy beverages impaired my ability to make a solid plans and execute them! I got as far as the courtesy lights. Should I have a "moment of clarity" this weekend, I will report back my findings on Monday...

    well the dash lights were not as easy I thought. i was only able to pull the 3 from the center gauges (RPM, Speed, Compass). The smaller gauges will require a 4 year old with tiny fingers or the removal of the gauge. The bigger gauges took the same LED lights as the courtesy lights. The transom light if it looks like the Attwood light in the picture below said to replace with a No. 90 bulb. I think SuperBright LEDs conversion is BA9s under marine bulbs.

    By the way... Attwood does have a direct replacement 3 mile LED transom light if your willing to fork out $50+ for it. I'm in consideration right now.

    The BA9 won't work as it's a single pole. Trust me, I tried just about everything they offered trying to find something that would work. I had a hell of a time, so I just gave up and replaced it with the Attwood incandescent replacement bulb from West Marine. I think the LED transom fixture they have is pretty sweet, and thought about replacing mine, but they were quite a bit more expensive when I was looking at them!

    Yup! you are correct... The BA9 will not work. Minor detail missed by me. I can't stomach $50+ to convert to LED either. I'm sure with time we may find these fixtures on Ebay. Thanks
