Check your spring loaded sockets where the bulbs are placed. There is also a thin brass plate that rests in the bottom of the light fixture. Mine were corroded compromising the spring and ability for bulb to light. Danny had to ordered them. Took a while, but he has now sent me two. EarleyBird

My running lights have a very similar fixture, except the top plate port or starboard unscrews. Never saw one with just a cap for bulb replacement. Again try Danny at High Tide Marine, he might know. EarleyBird

I believe that is a real early model bow chock.
I would keep an eye on ebay. Every once in while a used bow chock pops up. Just buy one get it re-chromed and put it on.

Mine has the top cap, but I believe some have used the pop in filler plugs used on stainless steel sinks, if you can find the right size.

You are right. In fact I think Capt. Pat was the one that suggested to use the cap.

I just ordered the replacement lens from Danny at high tide. The light sockets with the brass plate are no longer available from Danny.
Perko does have a socket with a brass plate, but it is slightly different from the one Danny had. I ask a local dealer to try and get me a set. I will let everyone know how that works out.

Well, the Store called me today and told me they could get them. But it is a 4 t 6 week wait. So it is evident that Perko does not stock them.
