2013 AR240 bow light

[Crimson36]

I smashed the original against the dock and have tried 3x to order a replacement.

The part no is Yamaha GP1-U8130-00, and is advertised on every website using a photo of the correct part but each time they keep sending me this and I'm going crazy! I feel like I'm losing my mind.

I've seen other threads of folks replacing or "upgrading" their bow nav lights with similar parts but I just want the original. Any clue what I'm doing wrong here?

It seems like that is a generic part number for a bow light. The actual light may change every year, 2 years, 5 years...who knows and they won't stock every single years exact model used on a particular boat. I just had my light go out last night it's crappy incandescent lightbulb that was corroded. Terrible design. I replaced with LED that should be here today.

I put this bow light on my 2019 AR240, it's pretty sturdy and bright.

Thanks! Did this light require any modifications to the mounting scheme? IE did you have to drill new screw holes or reposition anything?

I had to drill two holes for the new light, but the light covered the two original holes. Otherwise, it fit nicely and is very bright.

Here are a couple pics of the nav light.

Did you go with this option for your 2019 AR 240?

I’m in the same situation right now - it’s annoying! What did you end up doing?

Attwood is a maker of many generic boat parts that Yamaha and others use. My bow light and the one in the op’s pic are Attwood. Searching their catalog (pdf) yields better results than looking at their webpages. You can then go to Amazon or wherever and search for the part number.

I bought mine from Yamaha and it was a Atwood light I could have bought on Amazon for $20.

My bulb went out and I went LED. Note the smaller foot print of the new unit.
