[C320-list] Deck Light Bulb Type/Size

[Jeff Hare]

Brian,

I can confirm Doug's comments.  

"Hella marine 8505 Masthead / Floodlight" at Defender is what we just used
to replace our damaged combo steaming/decklight last fall.  Exact
replacement model.  We have a 2001 hull.

Bulbs: 
     Floodlight Replacement Bulb 12V / 20W GX5.3   (Defender part 998529001)
     Deck lamp draws 1.67 amps

     Masthead Replacement Bulb 12V / 10W SV8.5  (don't know the Defender
Part number, but there's an LED option)
     Masthead lamp draws 0.83 amps

Brian,

Sometime in late 1998 or 1999, they switched to the Hella fixture pictured
here:

D=1037&ParentCat=335

Warning: Not all boats of this year range used this fixture. Some boats used
#Z2019. Please confirm visually this is the fixture you need.

You'll need to research and confirm if this is the fixture your boat has.
Then the research should be simple to get the right bulb.
