Fred - do you have a gob of dielectric grease in there? I imagine your light bulb and lamp contacts are getting corroded. the dielectric grease still alows the contacts to conduct electricity, but keeps the air/moisture out so that the contacts don't continue to corrode.

My 93 transom light looks very similar. Most probably do. I have had continuous problem with the light bulb not working when it sits for weeks. If I pull the bulb out, and twist it in and out a few times it starts working. Next trip to lake I will try and grind a little sand paper onto the contacts.

Thanks to you both. I think mine had been replaced by N3 with an Attwood brand when I bought the boat. I eventually found a Perko up front under the bow seating and that is the one that matches yours exactly Mark,thanks for the pic's. Now to find an o ring thats the right size....

Gary, I am trying to post 4 pics that show my light. I don't know if it has ever been used, it does not look like it. There is a Oring on the plastic stop at the lower end. The oring is so old it fell off.

Happy 4th to you as well :) glad I caught you before you ordered.! Gary, - NP has this one for 93-2000 boats, but this is not what my 94 looks like. https://www.nautiqueparts.com/product/stern-light-pole-all-nautiques-from-1993-2000/ Mine is this shape, but there are ribs in the light diffuser that seem more pronounced than the picture here... https://www.nautiqueparts.com/product/stern-light-pole-for-correct-craft-boats-1985-and-prior-using-base-5306076/ |

Mark - I found mine under the observer side gunnel. its tucked way back up in there, but was clipped in, so I assume this is factory location. |

My 95 is missing the stern light. Are they available?
I should have one in the boat for night trips. EDIT: Sorry Christines has them on the shelf. Google helped find it. |

Also make sure you're getting a good clean connection where the light attaches to the transom. Maybe put a litttle dialectic grease on the connectors.

if you figure out the size, superbrightleds.com can hook you up with an LED alternative. I replaced my entire dash and stern light. Not only will they last longer, they are cheaper as well.

looks like there are a couple options for 91, as it appears to be a transition year. this is what NP lists though... stern light lamp

I noticed that this past weekend that our transom light on our 1991 SN was not working. Hopefully we just need a new bulb. I meant to bring the old bulb home with me to get a replacement, but left it at the lake. Can anyone tell me what size of bulb I need? Thanks
