Side Running Lights

[Leland]

Tomorrow we plan on sailing through the night so I thought it wise to replace my burned-out port running light.  If you ever need to do this, I recommend ordering from Stan or online.  K-Mart, True Value, Ace, Home Depot and Lowes do not carry the bulb.  They have it with one connector but our boat requires two.  It's the push and turn type bulb you find on car lights as opposed to the screw-in kind.  I went to a large electrical store in Annapolis and they had one that a customer had special ordered and didn't want.

Hopefully this knowledge might save someone on fuel running around town.  The bulb was $1.25, which is about how much gas I used to get out of my neighborhood.

Lee,
Did you look at West?  They have alot of bulb styles intended for normal marine use.

Art,

West Marine or an auto parts store would have been better places to start looking.

Hindsight.
