The "red" lens on my 1969 V-145 has gone clear. Maker was Perko.

Anyone know if I can get replacements for both red and blue? Where and what part number?

A local marine shop is going out of business and has a set of Perko lenses left. If I can get a part number I'll see if it matches the one they have.

Ayuh,.... Part #,..?? Just go over,+ Look.... If it Fits, it otta be pretty Obvious...
There really ain't that many flavors out there....

A couple of other points,....
If the issue was just the red lens gone Clear, you could color it with a red sharpie or something,...
But,... My other point,...
I'm told that a Blue light is no longer acceptable,... Nor Legal,...
It's gotta be Green, not Blue....

Go to perko.com, get the part number, and then search the web for the part number or call iboats and they can order it.

I just went out and took it off. The lens is globe shaped under that chrome cover. One side red other green. Fixed the problem by rotating the lens to the correct orientation where the color of the red lens happened to be mostly intact. :)

Thanks for the tips. Will be looking out for a better replacement in the future. :)
