Re: Stus-List changing stern light & converting nav lights to LEDs?

It is an 1157 auto bulb. If the socket is corroded you can buy a new socket. You don't have to buy a whole new light. Joel Virus-free. www.avg.com

Re: Stus-List changing stern light & converting nav lights to LEDs?

Isn't 1157 a combination brake and tail light with two filaments and two contacts? I would check for a number on the existing bulb. My Anchor light uses a bulb that looks just like an 1157, but just one filament and one contact. Bill Bina On 8/11/2017 11:59 AM, Joel Aronson via CnC-List

The single filament bulb is an 1156. Be advised that most automotive versions of this bulb are not “marinized”, meaning they can have mild steel components and will rust and corrode especially in a salt water environment. Chuck Gilchrest S/V Half Magic 1983 35 Landfall Padanaram, MA

Interesting, James. Our boats are only about 40 apart in HIN, but my stern light uses a festoon bulb instead of a bayonet mount. Rick Brass Imzadi C 38 mk2 #47 la Belle Aurore C 25 mk1 #225 Washington, NC From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of james

Hi all, (Cheers, I'm new to the list - I got a 1980 C 36 a year ago in May and have been sailing and fixing/improving her since. Calling from Helsinki, Finland.) It's kinda funny, I have an opposite problem. The V-berth door doesn't close when the shrouds are tightened, but that's because the

Re: Stus-List changing stern light & converting nav lights to LEDs?

Marine Beam make an LED specifically for this purpose. They make a Green, a Red and a Cool White. I fitted these some time ago and they work as advertised and are quite bright. I did have to slightly trim the inside edge of the plastic insert in the socket to get them to fit in properly. A

Re: Stus-List changing stern light & converting nav lights to LEDs?

First to Richard, who started this thread:  First, identify the light.  On our 1994 C 37/40+, ours lights are Aqua Signal 41 series lights.  1 screw at the bottom will remove the lens.  As for the bulb, in these, they are specifically Aqua Signal brand labled, and are 25 watt incandescent

Re: Stus-List Can't close the v-berth door

We had a similar, although not precisely the same, problem with our C 30 several years ago. We found that when the rig was in racing tune, the head door would not close properly, and would often launch itself in an unwanted attempt to close itself at high velocity whenever we were on a port

Re: Stus-List changing stern light & converting nav lights to LEDs?

I agree about Marinebeam, I have used them for other lights on my boat, always with good results. Aqua Signal throws up a lot of smoke and noise about losing certifications by replacing the bulbs in their fixtures, is this a real concern or just them trying to get me to spend more with

Re: Stus-List Can't close the v-berth door

I wouldn't say that's the opposite problem, that's the same as my situation. Maybe you were referencing a couple of the other posts though where they had the frame/door issue at the top/bottom edges. My feeling is it doesn't indicate a serious issue, but you should check bulkheads and rig just to

Re: Stus-List changing stern light & converting nav lights to LEDs?

Jim, I spent 30 years in the regulatory field. There's always some fine points to compliance. There's differences between regulation, enforcement policy, equipment certifications, etc. There is the occasional Coastie that will try to jam an enforcement policy up your nose but in the end, the

Jim; Dennis is right in pointing out that you can use any light you chose on your boat – so long as it meets the INTERNATIONAL requirements for color, arc, and visibility that are encompassed in the COLREGS and the CFR that he referenced. Now if you ARE using a candle in a Pringles can, you

Stus-List Converting to LED lighting

Anyone contemplating conversion to LED should check out sources on E-Bay. Prices are super cheap and quality is good. Search 'marine LED (+bulb type)’. Ex. Marine LED 15s or 15d. I have replaced all of mine from E-Bay sources and have been very satisfied. Here is an example:

Bruce, Go to http://store.marinebeam.com/replacement-bulbs/. If you can't identify it, call them. They are helpful. Many of us on the list have had great results with their lights and bulbs. I think they are superior. Nearly every LED on Touche' plus several fixtures are from marinebeam.

Re: Stus-List Can't close the v-berth door

That's a good idea, and not something I would've thought of probably. I had already tried tightening the screws on the hinges, since sometimes those loosen up. The port side of my door (hinge side) has about 1/16" - 1/8" clearance, so there's room to recess the hinges a bit. I'll have to form a
