You'll want to check for 12v at the center and ground as shown below. I'm betting that the socket just needs to be cleaned though. Little bit of sandpaper will do..

When you put the light cover back on, there should be a metal contact inside. Make sure that lines up and touched the (-) contact on the base.

Thanks BMR. I'm going to try to get over to the boat tomorrow, and give it a shot.
