I'd like to relocate the all-around light to the radar arch. Can't seem to find a fold down mount that comes off the rear of the arch like I see some folks have. Any ideas where I can find one? Our arch didn't come with one.

My only alternative would be to fab a plate to sandwich between the radar antenna and the mounting plate to extend back and mount the existing socket/pole to it.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Rick
 
Rick,

I just bought a second Perko base for my anchor light. You need to get into a good catalog that carries a more complete selection than the WM catalog has. The folks at Sportcraft Marine here in Portland ordered it for me. Seems like it was around $25.

My arch did have a mount plate aft of the radome, so all I needed to do was install the light base and connect the wiring. I pulled the wires when I installed the arch. Probably the first time I've planned ahead.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Steve. I was thinking that the plate idea is what I'm gonna go with. And the Sportcraft folks are great, I agree. Now, if only I had your forward thinking about running the wiring when I installed that arch... :roll:

Rick,

I recently went through the Perko catalog online looking for an LED bulb replacement. I did not find it, but I was able to find my exact light during the process. Check the link below.

My light is a model 1209 and is shown on page 49. The replacement base is shown on page 69.

Hope this helps.

Thanks...I'll look around and see what I can come up with.
