I have a 2019 C28 and the anchor light was not led. I replaced it with an led bulb. Took me awhile to find it. It is 44mm end to end. You can find it on Amazon.

Might differ on C28 but on C30 it was same as @watson1987, replaced our anchor light with MarineBeam FS-42-30C-CW. That was 2.5 years ago and it has worked great (no need for the backup I ordered at the same time, at least not yet 🙂

I went with all Marine Beam LEDs too. Dropping the mast/radar etc. was a bit of a treat to get at the anchor one. I actually had to replace the whole fixture on my anchor light at the same time, due to corrosion on the connectors.

Stupid question: How does the Anchor Light come apart to change the bulb? Does the top or bottom of screw off? Neither seem to readily separate.

If I recall correctly, the housing dome turns about 1/4 turn to the right and then lifts up. Might need WD40 etc to dissolve salt.

I believe this is right. Mine was so badly corroded that the entire fixture had to be replaced...Not sure if it's the exact same fixture but mine is this aqua signal series 25:

Just replaced the bulb in my 2017 C28 anchor light. I can confirm that clear body rotates counterclockwise (looking top down) about 1/8 turn to remove it. There are three prongs at the base of the clear body in the bayonet type mount.

Thanks much. Still soaking mine in penetrating oil to get it loose!
