Those marinium lights have been out of production for some time to my knowledge. So, those who have spares tend to hold them tight. I fortaunatly have a set on my outrage that are in great condition. However, I know others who had one good one and could not get their hands on another. They ended up just completely replacing them with off the shelf perko's. Also, Wolf's marine in Benton Harbor http://www.wolfsmarine.com had some close to OEM look a likes in one ofs their grab bin however, it was not an item they stock.

I do know of someone sourcing New Old Stock of these lights and lenses....Hopefully there will more to come on that.

Here is the light that kind of looks like an OEM. Well it is as close as could be found. These are on my Friend Dave Buckalew's (buckda) 18 outrage.

Doug,

Please look at the photos in the OEM Photos Section.
You will see two (2) different versions of these lights.
One for the 1983 (approximately) Whalers and one for the later series.
These are the older version:
http://www.whalercentral.com/photogal...?photo=334

and these are the newer version like yours:
http://www.whalercentral.com/photogal...?photo=335

Let us know what you are specifically looking for... Piece by Piece,,,,, Please.....

There are basically 3 pieces to the newer version.
1. Lens Assembly.... You cannot take these apart and they are part of the mounting base
2. The top gasket
3. The Marinium Cover

I know you have the newer style as you have a 1989 Outrage 22........... :)

Jorders,
The Stern Light was made by Perko and no longer available.
There are photos in the OEM Photos Section here:
http://www.whalercentral.com/photogal...?photo=643
Although not that great of a photo, the rest of the parts are also located in the OEM Photos Section....

And there is an article on how to make your own in the Articles section here:

Please spend sometime looking around on this site for valuable photos and information as we try to cover all parts. If you have something to contribute in the way of parts photos or any other information, please do so as we are always looking for more input.

Joe,

Thanks for the information. I need everything- both lights are gone and the current bow light is mounted on the t-top. The stern light is aftermarket as well.

I have acquired an original stern light, but have a large diameter hole to patch in the top of the fiberglass covering board (at the aftermarket stern light location) before I install it. It will probably be a winter project.

I'll check out the pictures.
