Replacing bow light bulb, hints please!

[FELIXTHECAT]

Hi there. Got a 12 foot runabout. I want to change the bulb in the bow light (red/green) Okay help here... there is a hole in the top, I can touch the bulb with one finger but can not for the life of me figure how I am going to get the bulb out and put a new one in? Is the only way to do this is by unscrewing the whole assembly off of the bow? <br />Hey thanks for your help!!!

Most likely you will have to remove the assembly to replace it, unless the lens comes out for access. On my runabout, I have to remove it.

Felix,<br /><br />You'll have to take it apart. Make sure not to mix up the red/green lenses.

Hi Felix, if the bulb stands straight up to the hole try a piece of rubber hose over the bulb, I've done this many times and it works fine, good luck.

I heard that the hole in the top of the bow light is for a flag pole? Is this correct????
