OK guys great help on the replacement Nav lights for the 2000 248 Voyager. Ordered today. For the life of me I cant figure out why the green one is $20 more than the read on Amazon.. So Now I'm looking for a new anchor light. The old one looks to be may be 2 feet tall. So who has replaces theirs an what would you recommend, Atwood? Looking for one with the same hole pattern. I guess I will take the old loran antenna of too.

Thanks

I have a radar mast but just changed the bulb to an LED equivalent. It was a direct replacement and much brighter. If your existing light is ok, you can probably do the same.

I just replaced the bulb with LED in my 2007 330 anchor light. You can find direct replacements from a variety of sources. I think your antenna is GPS not LORAN, but likely not needed with more current MFDs.

There was an article in Boat US a while back about radio interference caused by LED mast lights. That didn't stop me when I had to replace the mast light. What did stop me was having to pay 3 times as much for the LED version. I rarely boat at night, so LED is not going to make a big difference in the power area.
One thing to check iwhether you have 2 wire or a three wire mast light. I have a 3 wire on mt 208 but a 2 wire on "Myother Boat"
The 3 wire has two lamps, front facing 120 degrees I think and all around lighting which used the same front facing lamp and the other read and side facing lamp.

Attwood here. 24" tall, LED. Bolt pattern was different but I didn't care as I had all the holes filled in my hardtop so I could start fresh and put things where I wanted them.

I put a new Aqua Signal 21 1/2” LED mast light on to replace my old one. $43 from Defender. Works great. Matched the old holes and it clears my radar height wise.B13E69EB-BE67-48F5-B0B8-C6B17F00002F.jpeg

I have the same Attwood as above and very happy with it. Much brighter and more visible!
