I have a Xpress boat that I can't get the Perko bow light to work. There is voltage to the base and to the top of the light when plugged into the base- but the bulb want burn. I looked at Perko weeb site and they call for a 12 volt, 10 watt bulb. I have been trying a 13 volt 10 watt- would it really make that much difference? This is a "felston style " bulb that looks like an old style glass fuse in a car.
Any ideas besides trying to find a different bulb? Another wierd thing is that all bulbs test good for continuity, but none of the 3 I have tried will burn when holding a wire jumper from the battery to each end of the bulb. Battery is hitting 12 volts on the test meter.
