I have a 1995 17' Outrage with a bum stern light. Looking for a replacement. Anyone have one or know a good place to get one?

Thanks!

Brado -

Do you need just the pole or the base and pole?

On my 1991, I replaced both with a Perko unit with a adjustable dome style lamp base last year.

With only 2 seasons, I see the base finish is already pitting.

I recommend a quality Perko item like this

Thanks for the reply. There is already a slot and plug for the pole, wired, powered, etc with a cover that is fitted into the stern. The issue is that the plastic light cover and bulb are both broken and need replacing. The bulb corroded the socket and so I believe the socket needs replacing as well... the usual chain of events on a boat.

Your post gave me a thought that perhaps I can use an after market pole in the factory fitting.

Thanks

Brad

The socket, bulb and globe (plastic light cover) are all readily available as replacement parts.
