I am looking for a reaplcement bulb for the back 360 degree pop-up light. It says to get a "A127" bulb but I cannot find a cross reference. Any suggestions?

I couldn't find one either. Might be an idea to pop it out & take it with you to a local autoparts supply store and see if they can match it up.

Sounds like the perfect time to upgrade to an LED light.

How can I upgrade to a LED light?

I don't know. I remember reading on iboats.com that people were upgrading the bow red/green along with the stern white pole to LED. Brighter, last forever, and draw less power.

It's going to be more expensive than getting a $.99 bulb, but probably better in the long run.

Go over to iboats.com and do a search, I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to find.

I'm currently trying to replace all my lighting with LED's for this season.
Still having a hard time finding just the bulbs so i don't have to replace all the fixtures as well. So far the best site i've found is SuperbrightLEDS.com (never guess what they sell). Found a replacement for my bow light:
Super Bright LEDs ? Festoon Light Bulbs Mine seems to be the 3610 x4.

Can't seem to match up the bulb for my stern light - Number i have on my OEM bulb is F1004 but i can't find a cross reference to it in the LEDs.
Also can't seem to find replacement bulbs for my courtesy lights yet.

Anyone else already go through this exercise and have the right LED replacement numbers?

B.T.W. i couldn't find much on the iboats site......

Yeah I couldn't find much either. Interesting if you punch in "LED" into the search at iboats, nothing comes up. I remember reading a post a couple of years ago that was really good. Someone wanted to leave their lights on while on the anchor. A lot of people had some great info on converting to LED, but I can't find it now.

If you figure it out, make sure you post it here. I'll be doing this upgrade soon.

This is what i think are the correct lights to replace the Nav lights:

Anchor/Stern Light
Existing F1004 or GE 90B = LED equivalent 1142-WW18-T - 360 degree beam

Bow Light
Existing Bayonet = 3022-WWHP4 - 120 degree beam

These are the ones that i think will directly replace the existing units. if anyone knows for sure please post the reply here.

Also don't know what the exisitng bulbs are for the courtesy lights. if anyone has one out that they could check or ideally if you know what the LED replacement is please post it as well.

Hey guys.. I've replaced my inside courtesy lights and purchased the bulbs through superbrightleds.com

bulb # for cool white is G4-WHP6-RAC the cost for each bulb is $11.95. If anyone can find them cheaper let me know. I took out one of the courtesy lights on the deck and it looks like this is the bulb; WLED-x-6V: 1 LED Wedge Base Bulb. I hope this is it because they're only $0.79.

I purchased a stern light because the light would not retract. The only one I could find is at Eddie Marine for $120.00
Eddie Marine : High Performance Marine Products and Hardware

I had my mechanic change it out but someone has already broken the top and now the light won't light. Now that I'm thinking about it I wonder if it's covered in the service manual. In my Z260 it's practically impossible to get to.

Here is what I ordered from SuperBright for the courtesy lights and also work on the retractable anchor light...

1 | WLED-x5: 5 LED Wide Angle Wedge Base Bulb| $ 3.94 |
WLED-CW5: Cool White
