Changing bulb on flybridge anchor light. Any tricks?

[HomePort]

I need to get to the anchor light on the soft top to my flybridge. I'd like to do so without killing myself. Any suggestions? Any tricks? I'm desperate because my tech "fixed" it but it's still not working so I'm just going to get it done myself.

Home Port, I had to replace one of the bulbs on mine also " there are 2". I went to marine max to purchase 2 bulbs but after finding out they where $40. each , I decided to only replace bad one. The only way I think to do the change out is to slide the canvas out of the holding trac , stack up the seat cushions to stand on , and break the mast down, to get to the bulb. I'm 6'2" good luck.

I have a 12' ladder that I keep in my garage that I purchased just for that purpose. The cockpit is wide enough to support the legs side to side when the ladder is extended. It's not one of my favorite jobs, plus it's a PITA hauling the ladder down to the boat just to change a stupid bulb.
