| Dad's stern light socket corroded on the inside beyond repair. Can't find a close enough replacement thus far. He wants to butcher it and I can't let it happen, I'm an original type of person. Any help? I'm sure the sockets common on most 70's CC. |

| He bought the Attwood. The Attwood looks like it but is actually a shorter surface area, exposing a screw hole on deck from the original. And the socket base is bigger in diameter so I'd have to make existing approx 1" hole in deck larger. |

I was able to drive out the black plastic part inside that has the two prongs on it. I cleaned everything up, and re-soldered wires to the underside of the prongs. Once it was all ready, I just pushed it back down inside. Works fine. However, I don't know how bad your is. ------------- https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRtW3vJrMHLdqBzndt9VX3oOpBuRopGlzKq9Ea7pAO7wnTuoD8E8g |

| We thought about that, actually thought about replacing the bottom part of the socket with new but that created another snaff-foo, i forget what it was now. His prongs are pretty well toast. Then I figured, surely theres one on here somewhere for less of a headache. |

Yeah, that is a nice looking piece of hardware. I'd hold out; one has to pop up here from a parts boat sooner or later. You'd think it would be easy to gut a new one and use the vintage chrome base but I doubt the plastic would match up correctly. Maybe call perko and see if they can refurb yours? Cocacola works good on corrosion. I just had to clean my 99s. Nice boats and Good luck. |

I just bought a 71 Barracuda off eBay. I will see if it has one when I get it. Could be a week or so though. Thanks, Brian |

| The style used through '72 or so is not the same as the one pictured. |

The one on the boat I bought isn't the same. It twists instead if slides. So don't know if that is something you would want to change. Thanks, Brian |
