I need a lead on where to get a new red/green bow navigation light. It is for a 1987, 31 foot Cigarette Decathlon. The light is 2 ½ inches in diameter. The height is 1 ¾ with and additional 1 inch sticking out the bottom for the light bulb socket.
It has markings on the top silver plate that reads “Marinium” in the center of a larger W and C emblem. The C overlays the W to look like a cattle brand. It also has A16 stamped on the black plastic.
I’ve looked at Boat US and West Marine and had a local dealer check their catalogs but came up empty.
Thanks,
Cordell

Is it the marimnum (sp) one , all alum, check doller or martin marine.

It is 2 1/2 inches round Black plastic with the Red/Green plastic lens facing the front with an aluminum cover on the top stamped with "Marinium".
I will follow your advise and check with Doller and Martin.
I emailed Cigarette but I guess I should just call their parts department.
Thanks,
Cordell

Cgarret...I think this is what you are looking for...although I'm not sure if they still manufacture nav lights.

Thanks, This is the place. I emailed them and I'll see what I get for a response. It's amazing what you can find by asking.

Wilcox is the place for sure. I checked with them about some bits for the Magnum. Unfortunately, they only make the Marinium cleats at this time. The person I spoke said they had difficulty getting quality castings from their vendors.

If you find something, let me know because I would prefer to match what I have rather than update everything. The boat needs an all-around light and one clamshell vent.

I got an email from Jock Allpress @ Wilcox-Crittenden and he informed me that they no longer make any Marinium products. I'm glad that he took the time to respond.
Now I need to find a replacement. Has anyone with a 31 Bullet had to replace your Bow Navigation light?
I need something round and about 2 1/2 inches across with both a red and green light built into the one unit.
Thanks,
Cordell

I would check back with Doller Marine, Call Mike Wood, he would know if they still have them, myself and a friend have replaced these lights many a time and Doller allways had em.

I emailed Cigarette twice and Doller once (see below) but haven't gotten a reply so I guess I will get on the phone. What good is having a web site with email addresses if your not going to get back to the customer?

After reading my post I decided to add/edit it to say that I need to give Doller more time to get back with me as it has only been about 24 hours.

Try the email [email protected] , I bought a bunch of parts for my boat and just e-mailed them today thanking em, and they got right back to me.

I think that is the same light as a top gun (87).
