I need to replace the mast light that is mounted in front of the windshield
on my '87 22c.

Does anyone know if they are still made ? I would rather not drill new holes.

thnks

My '86 doesn't have a masthead light mounted ahead of the windshield. Are you sure that was a stock item? The only white running light is in the transom. Someone added a motorized light which comes up from the rear deck when you turn it on. Pretty expensive add-on. I don''t think it was necessary. Here is pic of the front of my stock '86. I am re-working mine now. Will be glad to help in any way with my limited knowledge as this is my first Boat-Donzi resto.

I believe you have the same setup as my 86, center mount just ahead of the windshield. If so it is a Perko, I am not sure if they still make the bent tube that was original but they have a great replacement with an adjustable tilt head. You can find the updated one on their site, plus you could try an email to see if they still stock the old bent one.

Ragbagger where that fixture is just ahead of the windshield is where the original light was, I suspect a prior owner updated yours with the electric bling light.

The light you have has two bulbs in it and a transom light when running lights are on only the front bulb lights and the transom lightare on in the anchor position both bulbs light. It is the old international setup now for larger boats I think. I don't beleive it is made anymore but Peco can tell you.

Yes, they're still made. See page 49 in the Perko catalog;
http://www.perko.com/PERKOCat305/Sections/Cat305%2051.pdf
Look at Figure # 1209

You can buy them at West Marine;

and look at part # 281179.

the 1209 series Perko is correct....

there are two part number 1209 versions, one has two pins in the teardrop base and has a round one bulb globe. The three pin teardrop base has an oval globe and two bulbs w/ seperated vision parameters. The 2007-2008 Perko catalog is much clearer on this issue.

You're right Randy. I posted the incorrect West marine page. The correct one is; http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/10001/-1/10001/15992/10001/236/235/9

The 1209 base matches the holes in my deck.

Thanks All !!!!

This is good. now I can fix mine if it breaks. I really don't this setup at night. I prefer the transom light stick better. But I am not going to change the Criterion!
