Tono,
Just looking through all the photos we have on this site, I would say positively, yes.
Whaler Model Specifications
And then take a look at all the personal pages for 1990 to 1995 Outrage I

It looks like yours has it in the photos on your personal page

Hi Tono,
My '95 Outrage 17 has two cleats on either side of the bow light which has a spacer underneath that is shaped to guide lines. I'm quite sure this is the original setup for my boat.
A good friend of mine has a '91 Outrage 17 which I *think* is hull number 214 (A90214). I can't quite remember. I did extensive work on the boat last winter. It has the stern corner seats. At the bow it has the same setup as mine with the cleats, but the bow light does not have the spacer/rope guide underneath. I think it's bow light was replaced at some point. Unfortunate as the original light is nicer.
I think the change from chocks to cleats at the bow happened concurrently with the change to stern seats...

Cause mine is not an original part. Well, I guess so.
Thank you

Tono -
I have hull #175, a 1991 and it has the same setup as Chris, a raised bow light with a spacer and two separate cleats.
Both of your links show the standard bow light for a classic Montauk.
Here is the OEM arrangement:

Hi Tono,
As Phil noted, those pics you linked are of the Montauk 17 bow light/chock setup. This piece wouldn't fit an Outrage 17 properly due to it's pointed bow. Montauks are basically flat at the front and center of the bow.

Looks like Phil and 95Outrage17 have taken care of you.
You most likely have the original on your boat then as shown in your personal page photos.

Joe,Chris & Phil T.
Thank you all for your help. Now I know that my spacer is the original, but the bow light isn't. So, I only have to look for an original bow light. One more time, thank you all.B)
