I lost the aluminum [Marinium] cover for the starboard [sidelight] [from an OUTRAGE 22 boat]. Where can I get one?

The original Marinium sidelight lamps used on Boston Whaler boats are hard to find now. They seem to be a highly sought after component these days. I'd check with some boat chandleries that have been in business a long time. Maybe there is one on a dusty shelf somewhere.

Check with Sue Lodel at Twin Cities Marine in Wisconsin

You can buy replacement Stainless Steel side lights tooled to match the original Marinium from Marine Part Depot. They will be brightly polished, so will not match a weathered aluminum unit in appearance. You get both left and right and all of the electrical fittings, lenses and mounting base for about $80.

Padre, those repro nav lights look great, a nice resource for those trying to keep their Whaler looking original. Any idea of the old Marinium tops will fit the new plastic lamp bases? The plastic parts were always the weak link.

Andy. Those caps will only fit over the very early first gen Wilcox Crittenden Marinium lights.

I bought a pair from Marine Parts Depot about 3 years ago. Very happy with their quality and their service.

For some information on the navigation lamps, the OEM, and possible alternatives, see

Marinium sounded like an interesting word... so I searched a bit and found this from the JamestownDistributors Perko page:
Corrosion Resistance - Equal to or better than any common marine alloy.
Strength/Weight Ratio - Highest of any common marine alloy.
Weight - Approximately 1/3rd the weight of most marine grade alloys.
