Well, I did it. I broke off my light when I took my cover off. The problem is, this thing has so many part number possibilities and it’s 20 years old. Any clue what would replace it and still use the existing mounting holes? I would love to go LED and much much brighter

    What does the mount look like? What actually broke and can it be repaired? There probably is a LED bulb that can go in there

    This is the three-hole mount nav light that I installed last year. Love it. The base is about 2-1/2" if I remember correctly.

    I had this one before I ordered the Five Oceans one I mentioned above. Initially I liked it and it did fit, but I had to do some rearranging on the mast and even though it's supposed to be "easy off" with a tab at the base, it wasn't and I wound up destroying it just trying to get the top off from the base. I found some comments online that once you snap the top onto the base it's on for life.

    That's when I found the Five Oceans and it is definitely a lot easier to take a apart and put together just in case you need to.

    Hopefully you'll have better luck than I did.

    This is what I ended up with. I used 3M 5200 to attach it since screws weren’t going to work with the holes. Furthermore, the #14 wires were super tight in a tiny hole on either end of the tube and they didn’t budge (likely a grommet somewhere). So  i did heat shrink solder splices and poked them into the pipe carefully, epoxied, and taped temporarily. Unfortunately my batteries aren’t in, so I won’t know if the splices survived being jammed through the narrow tube openings and folded in on themselves in that pipe randomly.

    I ordered the same wakeboard tower light for my boat. I love the low profile.
