Variants

This product is offered in several configurations so the replacement can match the light service being performed.

The configuration changes by color, unit of measure, and whether the heat sink is included. The same compatible rub rail-mounted applications apply across the range.

• F38-6602 is the pair option for replacement lights for F38-6602 and includes the heat sink. This is the configuration for replacing both red and green side lights together when the heat sink is part of the service.
• F38-6000-G is the individual green replacement light and does not include a heat sink. This fits situations where only the green side light needs replacement and the existing heat sink is reused or not part of the job.
• F38-6000-R is the individual red replacement light and does not include a heat sink. This fits situations where only the red side light needs replacement and the existing heat sink is reused or not part of the job.

Compatibility and fit

Before ordering, match the replacement to the rub rail navigation light installed on the boat. These lights are for TACO Marine rub rail-mounted assemblies identified as F38-6602-1, F38-6602-2, F38-6800D, F38-9960, and F38-6810B, rather than a universal bulb for any navigation light housing.

Installation and setup

Installation is a service replacement for an existing rub rail-mounted navigation light position. Check the installed housing, wire routing, polarity, lens color, and heat sink requirement before removing the old light, especially on boats that have had rub rail repairs or prior lighting changes.

Because the light sits in the rub rail area, clean the mounting area and inspect the surrounding rail, fasteners, and sealant before reinstalling. A clean fit helps keep the replacement seated correctly in an area exposed to spray, vibration, and dock contact.

Use cases on board

This range suits owners, yards, and marine technicians maintaining TACO Marine rub rail navigation lights on center consoles, fishing boats, and cruising boats where the original side light assembly is still in service. Individual red or green replacements are useful for single-side repairs, while the pair keeps both side lights refreshed in one job.

Maintenance and care

After installation, confirm red and green orientation from the helm and check visibility at dusk or in a controlled low-light setting. Rinse salt from the rub rail area during normal washdowns and inspect the light after impacts, rail work, or seasonal haul-out.
