I agree with Phil's comments 100%
I have a C&C 30 Mark 1, with a wheel. The rudder post is in the cockpit like Phil's 27 Mark II.
I wish it had a tiller and one day may remove the wheel and cover the hole in the cockpit.
Having a chart plotter mounted at the wheel is nice though.
Adding a wheel to a boat with a transom mounted rudder like the 27 mk5 would be a lot of work and expense.
Take the money you would spend for the wheel and pedestal, and buy a nice tiller pilot... and rejoice in the extra room and lack of extra things to maintain/fix.

I did a quick check of the multiple C&Cs in the marina. (34ft and smaller).
The ones that have the optional sealed beam halogen spreader light, had the small vertical mount masthead light.
I believe it was made by Perko.
Looking at the Perko website, they still list the old style horizontal masthead light. #964.
But that lights is only "ABYC A-16 certified for use only as an original equipment replacement; not certified for new construction"
With that in mind, and the fact that the old one easily gets moisture in it, I am I going to just replace mine with a more modern LED fixture.
For those that want to replace with the same design, SeaChoice makes a replacement.

In my 1986 C&C 27 the Deck & Steaming light combination looks like a Aqua Signal Series 25
Hmm. That's the same unit that is on my Catalina 22.
Ok. My C&C has the optional sealed beam spreader light with a standalone steaming/masthead light. Not the combo. (I assume it was an option because the Bulb replacement info that was posted here says it was an option on the 27)
GE Sealed Beam Spreader light: 
Perko Steaming Light:
I wonder if the flat machined aluminum base for the old round masthead light, will fit under the aqua signal ?

Hello all !
I recently purchased a C&C 30 mk1 (yup. an interloper 
)
Before I step the mast, I want to inspect/test all wiring, and upgrade to LED bulbs.
The front of the mast has a special flat area for a round white steaming light. It doesn't appear to have a gasket to keep the water out and uses an old GE 90 bulb.
Is that same fixture used on a C&C 27 ? (or other C&C)
Are there parts (lens/gasket/socket) available ? (can't seem to find info about who made them)
Has anyone replaced the whole thing with something similar ?
Thanks for any advice.
