Navigation Light Lenses

[vernonfarmer]

I'm hoping to find red and green lenses for my navigation lights for a '59 Chetek Lapstrake utility 17 footer. The plastic lenses are aprox 2.75 X 2.5 inches. Looks like they were hit with some kind of solvent and melted part of the plastic.



The underside of the light housing has this curious stamp:



Any help would be appreciated!

That is a very common type of bow light. Watch ebay auctions. They come up often. You will most likely have to ourchase an entire bow light, not just the lenses.

John,

I would try looking at Kendor Marine Corp in Franklin, WI. their located at 5713 West Ryan Road Phone 414-421-4370. www.kendormarine.com

They have a lot of obsolete boat parts and hardware items no longer available at most marine dealers today. They are a clearing house for obsolete parts. They purchase the items marine dealers and boat manufacturers have had laying around in the dustly corners or if one is going out of business they purchase all the hardware items. It is a fantastic place to go and just look around for that hard to find hardware item. I have found many of the hardware items I needed for my Thompson and also for my sailboat.
It is a great place to spend an afternoon just looking to see what you can find.

Good Luck,

Phill

Phill,

I was at Kendor on Monday. They don't have lenses to fit this light. I was stunned! They have every thing else a boat could need, though.

Jim, thanks so much for your offer. Will email right away.
