Question:

Will this fit my trailer? The hole in the frame where it mounts is 2-7/8 dia. The only numbers I can find on the broken light are APIPC-91 on the lens and Model 10 and No. 28535 with the rest of the number missing on the back of the light. This ffits on a 1995 Procraft boat trailer. Thanks

In order to install this light, you will need a grommet to fit the hole. We have a grommet for a 2-25/32 hole, which is just under 2-7/8 as well as a grommet that fits a 3 inch hole. If you can re-measure the hole with something that has 16th inch or 32nd increments we can get a more accurate measure of the hole.

If it is a 2-25/32 inch hole, you would use grommet # A57GB. If you find it is a 3 inch hole, you can use part # A55GB. Both of these grommets will work with the MC57AB.
