'99 Grady Sailfish 272, question on bulb numbers...

[mskulick]

Hello to all,

This is my first post, though I have been lurking here for a little while...
Day after tomorrow, my wife is driving me 97 miles to drop me at our "new" (to us) Grady, our first.
The port side nav light is out as is the anchoring light on the hardtop. I'm hoping someone on the forum can help with bulb or part numbers, as I want to have them working before I run it through the Cape Cod Canal and back up here to the North Shore.
Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,
-Mike

Welcome Mike,

Try checking the grady website and download the owners manual for your boat. If I remember correctly, they may have the spec in there. I think its at the end.

I would also bring a small piece of fine grit sandpaper with you as I had the same problem with my boat when I bought it. In my case it turned out that the connections just had some corrosion on them and they worked fine after a quick cleaning.


Good luck with the boat...I have the 2000 model year and I love it. She's a keeper.

Congrats on the 272, I have a '98.
The anchor light has 2 bayonet bulbs. The fwd one on mine doesn't work on occasion. I keep it clean as suggested in prior post but sometimes have to rotate it in the socket to get it to come on.
I keep telling it I'm going to replace it with an LED if it keeps acting up but that hasn't helped.
