Hi dear All,
last morning I decided to go up the mast with a noble purpose to replace a fore-deck light bulb in the Aqua Signal 25 combo light of 2005-ish vintage. The steaming light works fine; the old deck bulb went MIA many years ago, as they reportedly do all the time. So far we had managed just fine, but I decided - what the heck, I can fix it! (I was wrong on that account...) I had with me a replacement flat two-prong bulb that WM store guy said is the direct replacement. The thing is all glass, 12V/5W, and it has two relatively thin wires sticking from the base. So, I tried this way and that, and the thing is just not going into the slot! I was afraid to push too hard, as those wires were bending easily.
So, any advice is welcome - to take the whole thing down, to push harder, or to replace the whole darn thing...
Thanks in advance,
Stan
