Can anyone tell me the type/mode; number of the lightbulb that goes in the Mast Light on a 2008 282 Sailfish. My light bulb broke into pieces over the winter so I don't have a sample to take to the marine store. I also looked at the owners manual and it does not list the type of bulb. All I know is I unscrewed the cap on the mast and pulled out (did not twist or unscrew) the old bulb. Thanks for any information!

Skunk, thank you. The mast I have is either 13-123 or 13-125, from your document. So I agree with the 71DP festoon type bulb. Can you tell me where you obtained this diagram? Looks like a great source of info. Thanks again.

When I changed mine to LED, I pulled the bulb. It should be marked with the PN on it.

Skunk,
That's funny it is in the Marlin manual, but not the Sailfish. I had scoured the Sailfish manual before posting here. Now I know to look at the manuals for some of the same vintage boats, thanks! I bought two different bulbs today. Will find out which one is correct when I'm at the boat on Sunday.

Bought an Ancor 9 Watt Wedge bulb at my local marine store. Fits perfectly. At $4.99 for a 2 pack, could be one of my cheapest repairs!

Thanks for all the input!
