Perco running lights source

[anchorout]

Can anyone give me the part number and source for a replacement stb (green) lense for the Perco running light on my 1999 CD22.

I must have taken a rock hit on the way back from the Florida gathering.

Looks just like mine, which are Perko Cat No. 0170 Series Nav Lights. "170" should be stamped somewhere inside the black housing. If yer gonna tow, yer gonna blow 'em, so replace the fragile Perko Cat No 0070DP1CLR filament festoon lamps with these much brighter $25 green or red LED's:

note marinebeams disclaimer:
" The USCG does not approve light bulbs, only fixtures complete with a light source. While these bulbs are the brightest LED replacement bulbs available, and will provide static visibility up to 5 miles, they don't have any sort of certification, and it is the user's decision alone whether to use this product to retrofit existing fixtures used for navigation."

The contacts live outside so you might as well replace the housing which includes the lens for $31 on a 1999 baby...I haven't found the lens only except on Ebay and they were trash.

Now you have very bright LED nav lights in black plastic rather than stainless steel at a savings of over $400.
Woody-Wax is great for keeping the black plastic shiny new looking and taking off any wax splatters (also for dark plastic on the truck).

Cheers!

Thanks John. The only number on my housing is A16, but I am sure it is the 170 series. Couldn't find lenses only, so ordered PRT and STB full assemblies as the old ones were getting brittle. As you suggested, GO2Marine had good prices and next day shipping.

I hope to see you both at the Appal. Gathering this year. We are coming a week or 2 early to do some exploring.

Thanks again.
