Not an LED bulb, but a wedge-shaped bulb that can be replaced.
No base. It is compatible with the boat's existing base.
On my Tracker 175 TXW, it worked perfectly.
The majority of stern lights have a one-size-fits-all design. It's what I bought for an older bass boat, and it's great.

Love it. I do a lot of night trolling, and glare has always been a problem for me. Crom the harsh light slamming into your eyes. If your fishing partner is taller than you, simply raise the light to his height and he will be blinded rather than you. Great light, on the other hand, makes their eyes feel good at night. It also improves visibility, making it less likely that your butt is run over. Although your wife may not agree, your dog certainly does.
These appear to be shaky. Because the base isn't included, and the type, model, or anything else isn't even suggested, I might not have the right base for it. There's a plastic collar that looks like it's supposed to fit into a notch on the base, but it doesn't on the one I have. It would probably be a little more stable if the proper base was included, or at the very least a suggestion of which base to use.
The light works as it should, but there are a few flaws, the first of which is the lack of a base. Okay, I understand. This is just another item to purchase. So I bought the same manufacturer's base, and the connection is a disaster. The light simply rests in the void. Because there is no lock and the connection is not waterproof, even a small amount of water can blow the fuse. a new tethering piece You risk losing the light in the water due to the lack of a locking mechanism.
I was concerned that the post did not have a ring to secure it to the base unit. The lock ring is not visible in the photo, and I read in one review that the two units could not be locked together. There is, in fact, a lock ring. To get the ring to drop low enough, I had to remove the top screw (closest to the light). The bottom screw should not be removed because it aids in the orientation and guidance of the pin connections. The post's holes aren't as deep or as large as my old post's, but the lock ring will secure the post to the base with a twist. br>I intend to replace the bulb with a Cree LED, but I still need to purchase a number of components.
It appears to be taken from a 1972 Bayliner open-top boat. The bow has an incandescent bulb but does not specify the bulb style so that an LED can be ordered. Instead of stranded wire, solid wire is used. I'm going back.
This light took the place of my old stern light. Using the same connectors, this light will not turn on, despite the fact that the old light will continue to function normally. This light will turn on if I wiggle it.
Perhaps it's a little too bright. I'm new to boating and thought a higher, brighter light would be beneficial. I mostly fish at night, so I wanted to make sure other boaters could see us. The mission was successfully completed. The disadvantage is that the light is so bright that it blinds me whenever I need to look back. It's as if there's a car following me with its high beams turned on. It's been a quiet night so far. When boating at night, vision is critical, but being seen by other boaters is also critical to avoid accidents. The issue is that whenever I look over my right shoulder, the light blinds me, so I have to slow down or stop. I was born with congenital cataracts and a pupil that is larger than the other. Because of these two factors, regaining my night vision takes much longer than usual. br>br>The other light I used in place of this one was dim, but it was easier on my eyes at night; However, I was concerned that it was too dim to be safe. br>br>I believe that upgrading the rear light to this nice one was the better choice in the long run; However, I have to admit that I am fairly certain that boaters can see me, but when that light hits my eyes, I can't see them or anything else for a few seconds. As a result, I guess I'll just have to keep slowing down or stopping whenever this occurs. br>br>I'd also like to point out that because the bright light is so blinding, it interferes with fishing and moving around the back of the boat when we're stopped, drifting, or anchored. br>br>I give it a high rating because it basically does what it says it will; However, it is causing problems for me and my family, so one star has been deducted.
