I have one of the classic bow lights that I need new electrical hardware for. Is there a supplier for the bulb socket or another brand of light that i can scavenge the parts from?

We would need to know the year, model, and length to make sure we are giving you the correct info.

See this "OEM Part Info and Photos" link in the meantime.

I have a 1996 15' Standard. I'm looking for the light hardware that goes into the "bow light and chock " type light. I'll just call Sue Lodel in the morning to see if there is any chance of getting new parts.

Yes, you said that.

Had to know what you had before we can tell you the internal parts like the light socket.

Let us know what Sue tells you.
She will ask you the same thing, like, what year, what style, etc. as there are several differnt lights used in the Classic models.

She said no one has ever asked her for a replacement bulb socket. I'm surprised that of all of the restorations that are done and bow lights that need attention no one has ever needed new electrical hardware in their bow light. I guess the finish goes before anything else and the whole thing gets replaced.

I've replaced sockets in several of my Classic lights.

Do you have a photo of your light so we might narrow the model down? Better yet, the exact socket you are looking for?

Joe, I'll be out on the water today but as soon as me and the boat are clean and dry I'll post a pic.

Thanks, Bill
