Does anyone know where to get a replacement protective cap for the housing of the anchor light base for our 2007 Angler. Ours went overboard. I can't find a name of a supplier or manufacturer on the light or housing. Thanks for any suggestions.
 
Most C-Dorys have Perko all around lights. Google Perko all around light cover and dig through the results. I did a quick check and a replacement cap doesn't turn up in the first few hits but I bet you can find it with some digging.
 
Patty here. We have used the cap from those one pound propane bottles when we have misplaced our real cap. Tight fit but it works in a pinch.
 
My 2008 22 cruiser has a Perko 1209DP2CHR detachable anchor light and yours is likely the same. The lens has a number "248" which you can check to see if this is your model. I have found Perko customer service very helpful with little component parts like that.
 
Thanks for your helpful responses. What a great organization! Happy Thanksgiving to all.
 
Lost mine too.
Go to a garden center/hardware store and buy a plastic cap to screw onto a garden hose or hose fitting. One that closes off a hose fitting. Works perfectly.
Cheers, Tom :beer
 
My anchor/steaming light is what I think of as the usual CD-22 fixture and is called a Perko 1209 Stowaway pole light. It looks like this:

I ordered a new base a couple of years ago, and a cap (plus the little mounting "bead" for the cap, which may be in the vicinity of your helm and is where you are meant to store the cap) came with it, as shown below:

Here is a list of spare parts, including a part number for the base/cap.

Bottom caps for lawn chair legs, and cane/walker tips come in a fair variety of sizes. Check them out at hardware stores or pharmacy.

Went to ACE after reading different cap replacemnts, the garden hose cap works just fine.
Have used several stoppers but I have lost all of them all over board. Thanks again for the
TIP !
 
I trimmed the edge of a wine bottle cork to fit inside the base. It gives a watertight fit. I store it plugged into a spare 12v receptical when the anchor light is installed.
