i am looking for the green nav light for my 86 Classic Outrage. All the plastic parts including lens are cracked. It says A-16 pat pending on it. I think it is a Wilcox-Crittenden Marinium bow lights. My metal housing is in great shape, just need the light assembly. Where can these be found?

Thanks Joe, I don't have the tools to make a fixture like that (or the expertise). Since the light is no longer availabe I think I'll try the next best thing to duct tape.....West System!
Thanks again-

Once and awhile these lights do show up but they are sold quick.
The problem with those lights is the 2 screws that held down the plastic lens to the boat. If those screws were over tightened the lens could crack. That is why I came up with the large washer idea.

I have one I might be willing to sell, but as Joe notes, these are very, very hard to come by and they command high prices typically.
The lens/base I have is in very good condition; the lens is perfect, but there is a crack running through the nipple that extends below the deck. You would need to be careful not to over-tighten the screws that secure the base to the boat, as Joe points out.
The brass threaded inserts in the base itself are in fine condition.
Send me an email (not private message) if you are interested in it.

I recentley replaced my lights with led type from attwood. I was ok they were not oem and i really liked the fact of lower current draw, telltale indicator light and they really came close to the original shape. part # 3550R7/3550G7^
