Author	Topic:   Who was looking for a bow light?
triblet	posted 03-17-2000 10:37 AM ET (US)         Somebody on ebay is selling the outer portion of the bow light from a 13' whaler. It looks to be the same as what's on my 17' montauk. See http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=285882224

Forget any after-market Zamak stuff as it will not hold up, if you can find anyone to re-plate it. Call New Orleans Plating at 504-525-4765. The address is 630 Carondelette St., New Orleans 70130. Their prices have been surprizingly affordable (less than new), and these guys do super work. If it's salvagable, they can get it done for you with new nickel/chrome plating that is thicker than came on the hardware when it was new. Good luck.
