Where can one buy the original navigation lamps for a 1979 Outrage?

The stainless rail bases?

What lamps are you asking about for advice on sources?

If you are asking about the individual red and green sidelight lamps used on older Boston Whaler boats, the lamps are no longer made. The only source might be from a dusty shelf of a retailer who has 40-year-old stock unsold.

Very rarely an old hull might be abandoned and someone wisely salvages all the OEM fittings and offers them for sale.

If you are asking about the combined red-green sidelight lamp carried at the bow and mounted atop a chock, those lamps are available from Boston Whaler as a part; Boston Whaler started using them again on a few models. Also, some knock-off versions made in Asia are available.

If you are asking about classic white all-round lamp on a pole I think that fixture is still being made by Perko—last time I checked.

If asking about the dual bulb masthead lamp and anchor lamp, I don’t have any advice to offer.
