I just bought a 1987 Catalina 25, which needs replacement bulbs (12V/10W) for the steaming light and anchor light. Both are identified as "GE-09" in the owner's manual, but nobody including West Marine seems to have such a lamp or a current part number. They're cylinder shaped, about an inch long with metal at both ends, and a dimple in the metal at each end. I don't want to install new fixtures instead of replacing the lamps. Can anyone help with a supplier for these lamps? Thanks.

Hi Mike,

Welcome to the fleet and the forum! I bought my replacement bulbs at West Marine. If I remember correctly the make and numbers didn't match, but they work just fine. Unfortunately, I can't remember the manufacturer, although it is the primary bulb supplier for WM. I'd suggest taking the bulbs with you to look for replacements.

Good luck!

Hi Mike,

Welcome to the group!

<font color="blue">... I bought my replacement bulbs at West Marine. If I remember correctly the make and numbers didn't match, but they work just fine. - J.B.</font id="blue">

I did, too. As J.B. pointed out, the numbers didn't match, but West Marine did have replacement bulbs that worked. In fact, they had two different sizes ... they let me take a package of each and return the wrong size after I replaced the bad bulb.

I'm pretty sure I've seen similar bulbs in bass boat stores down here, too ... if your West Marine doesn't have anything close, you might try a place that sells stinkpots.

Good luck!

You might check you local auto parts store for these 12V bulbs.
