PERKO all around lens replacement

Too brittle to save. Very cheap to replace with another plastic lens, but was wondering if maybe anyone has come across a frosted glass lens? I also found an LED replacement for the regular two contact bulb for the all around on Amazon. SRRB Performance brand. 2 for $14.99 400 Lumens. I like the fact this brand has a glass lens over the LEDs. Moisture protection as LEDs are mini circuit boards that don't like condensation. +I found an LED replacement bulb for the bow Nav-light at O'Reilly's Auto. (DE3175) it is around 1-1/4" long. I will swap it tonight and check brightness. (Lumens). $9.95 Too bright and it will wash out the color line between red and green.

And I'm not sure what light you have now as I don't remember what I had on my 1997 Outrage 17' II. And, you also might have been talking about another model of Whaler that you just bought etc. I still have no idea what globe you are referring to. Do you have a photo of the original light? These are just a few from the Perko catalog online: http://perko.com/catalog/category/nav...le_lights/ Edited by Joe Kriz on 08/09/18 - 3:08 PM

Joe, Thanks for the links, you are a great asset, offsetting my computer illiteracy. EDIT: For those wondering, per customer service, Perko did away with those years ago. You are stuck with delicate lenses, subject to sun damage. Or find an antique Perko with a glass lens? Edited by guitarfish on 08/10/18 - 9:54 AM
