Randy:
I’ll bet have an old Perko light or two laying around. I saved
them when I upgraded for some unknown reason (boat parts hoarder). Happy to
send one if I can find it. Any interest?

Thanks everybody. I agree the Perko 0963 is the closest thing to what’s on my
boat. It looks like the design has changed since mine were installed, to have
a plastic base and a festoon bulb (mine have a G6 bulb).
The way this saga started was that my starboard nav light bulb burnt out. So I
bought LED replacement bulbs with G6 bases for all three nav lights. In the
process of installing them, I dropped the port nav light dome and lens and two
screws to the bottom of my slip (to join various screwdrivers and fasteners
etc. that I’ve previously dropped; even a snatch block).
So now I’ve got project scope creep. A simple light bulb change has turned
into a swap out of two or three fixtures and a need to buy LED festoon bulbs
for each. At least I found a pair of the Perko 0963s for $109 at some trailer
store online, which was the cheapest price out there.
Cheers,
Randy

Randy,
The Perko 0963 horizontal mount lights are no longer in production. Perko does
sell the lenses. Their website says contact them about legacy products.
There are still complete lights out there. Google "Perko 0963".

I replaced the bulbs in mine with red and green LED bulbs from MarineBeam.
I also had to put Helicoils in the bow fitting for mine.
