Along those lines, anyone know of an anchor light that takes the same bulb as the stock Nav lights?

Usually if you choose a light of the same brand and series, they will all have the same bulb. I'm about 99% certain my Aqua Signal Series 20 anchor light takes the same bulbs as all the original Aqua Signal Series 20 lights on my '01X. I suppose I ought to check, because I have only one spare bulb which I assume fits all of them. Later Xs (and probably your M) have Hella lights; I assume there's an anchor light to match.

BTW, I have a second "all round" Series 20 on a pole which I lash to the mast for motoring with the mast down.

Later Macs use Hella Marine 3562 series lights that take a festoon cartridge type bulb. They don't offer an anchor light in this series. We used their series 2492 anchor light which takes a different, BA15s bayonet type bulb. It's not likely that a festoon bulb would be used in a 360 degree light application since the bulb holder would block light in one segment.
