I eventually got it apart.  It takes a T1004.  Bayonet base, 2 contact, non-offset pins.
Also referred to as non-polar.  It draws 0.94 amps.

I was on the boat this weekend, and decided to go to the bow to see which nav bulb was installed.  In this case, I checked the starboard side.  It has PL 90 stamped on the bayonet fitting of the bulb.  I googled it, and this is the first link that popped up.

There are two contact posts at the bottom of the bulb for the electrical connection, and two studs for holding the bulb in place (on the sides).  This looks like the same bulb, albeit with a brass base instead of the chromed or SS base that was on my light.  Based on the cost, you can afford to buy 20:).
