Hey Jerry, it just occurred to me, the stern light might be in the previous owner's garage. You should call the lady up. and ask her. It's a real easy item to overlook.

Hey Dan,I did and she says its not there. I believe it is ,since its not something a "captain" would operate a boat without. I may just fabricate one since BW dosent make them anymore. Thanks.

Jerry,
If you want to keep the light on the center console, you can make one in the article Joe linked too above. If you want to drop the light on the center console, you can make at 360 degree light that I made 360 Stern Light The light I made is simular to the ones used on the Revenge series.

kamie,

Isn't that the same link as the one I posted above which is the 235º stern light ?

Perko has sold the light fixture for the 360º in the past but I have not been able to find it on their site. I have a Perko 360º light on about a 6 foot mast that came from a Revenge.
