changing bulb in Aqua-Fit tricolor
 

I have a couple of questions about changing the bulb in an Aqua-Fit
series 40 tricolor/anchor light.

First of all, how do you get to the bulbs to remove them? There's a
metal plate on the top. removing it doesn't seem to do anything. The top
is as firmly attached without it as it is with it. There's an "on-off"
ring around the bottom but that appears to be for the "quicfit"
attachment. I'm very impressed with how well the light is made, but
there must be a way (other than a hammer) to get at the bulbs.

The second question is are LED replacements available for the 10W bulbs
these use? (Assuming I can get the old bulbs out of course.)

Thanks

Cindy

Hi Cindy,

Here's a link to a spec sheet on the series 40:

The second page shows the light disassembled, maybe this will help.

Twist the ring to the unlock position and pull up on the lens assembly.

You can remove the entire assembly, or just part of it, by twisting the
light on its mount. Careful though, since I know from experience that
these lights don't bounce well.

Good luck and good sailing.

These were both really helpful! Thanks guys, we got it open (without
breaking anything).
