Alternative for Perko Fig. 71 festoon navigation light bub?

[EricJRW]

I picked up an new bulb (1004) for my all round this weekend and it came in a 2 pack. Thinking a spare is good to have, I thought spares for my nav lights would be a good idea too. Only problem is I can't find a cross reference for what I have. Is there an automotive equivalent? The 1004 was already there, and I suspect it's automotive, but I'm just not sure what might replace the Fig. 71 bulb.



Any ideas?

Thanks,

Eric

I have led festoon bulbs in my Yukon from ebay. I'll take a look at the type from my e-mail.

This would do a bang up job. Never have to replace it again. Just double check the pick list as there is a forward and aft facing bulb that have a different degree viewing range.

1004 is an automotive bulb and available at any neighborhood auto store.

Yeah, that's one I replaced... I suspect that a 1004 is an equivalent for some other odd Perko number, but I'm looking for the automotive equivalent for the "Fig. 71" Festoon. I can find festoon bulbs at the autoshop, the only problem is that none list wattage. Even Perko lists two wattages, 8 and 10, for a 0071DPxCLR bulb. I just don't want to risk melting my lights, so I guess I would buy the 8 and compare to the existing bulb.

sprintst: While researching this, I came across those LED types. Very nice. I kinda decided against them due to cost - Since I would have to replace two so both lights would look the same. Also, this boat still has (at least in the starboard light) the original 71 bulb, so I know it just does not get used that often. We have the occasional floating log in the lake, so running at night is something I avoid.

Well I'll be at the boat shop today for some other items... I'll see if they have the 71 and how much it costs (2-pack festoon at auto shop is between 3 and 5 dollars - but the packages don't list wattage). Like I said, at this point it's a spare, as both my nav lights are working.

Thank you for the help and the ideas,

Eric

See if the bulb manufacturer has a web site. If they do then their product listing should indicate the specs for them.

Good idea... I was reading packages in store, which have no info... I'll check manufacturer after getting names from autozone and o'reilly web sites.

Sylvania has an incandescent and a led replacement (substitute) for the Perko Figure #71 bulb.
Sylvania DE3175
This number is the same for both the incandescent bulbs and the LED bulbs.
