I would like to replace my bow light as it is broken and some other parts.

Found one here
http://www.marinepartdepot.com/stbowh...alibw.html

Does anyone know if it fits my 1997, 17 Montauk, and if it is good quality
See pictures in my personal page, guess it is "Perko" mounted original on 1997 models?


Also does anyone know what lenght the bow eye bolt is?
There are 6" and 8"

I have that light on my 1971 Menemsha for reference....

And be sure to check the multiple (60+) bad reviews of that site before buying anything. I personally had to get PayPal involved to get a resolution, after waiting weeks. As a test, just try to call. I bet you get a 'voice mail box full' recording. In one of his reviews from 2016 it says the exact same thing, they couldn't leave a message and no email response.

If you search this site the correct photo/info is here somewhere. I couldn't find it but the moderators can.

You can go to the top of the main page and look through the OEM Photo's and info. You still have to browse around but most of the info can be found if you read enough.

This is the parts index in the reference section

Don't overlook the comments.

Here is an article on the replica assembly.

A respected dealer, Nauset Marine, in the US state of Massachusetts has a replacement assembly. I would start with them. If you need help, let me know.

I have bought 3 of them on e-bay so not sure who the vendor was. remember at least one of them the bolts were too short and I had to use the OEM. Might have ben both as the 3r one I have not installed yet.....only been about 10yrs.

Thanks for the warning, was a good price (and I have to count on VAT and customs fees to Sweden)
But is it "Perko" on my Montauk 1997, see picture on my personal page. Thinking of just buying the green / red glass and screws (because mine are bent)
I also think there is a lot of corrosion in the electronics why I thougt I could aswell by the complete navigation light. In that case I assume that I can go for any of the "Boston Whaler" navigation lights (that fits the Montauk 16'7" hulls despite model year)

Thanks Phil,

I read that quickly before, and now again.
Sounds like I shouldn't buy a replica.
Maybe disassemble mine this winter and just replace damage parts lika glass and screws (unfortunatly not metrics) and rebuild.
