Need some help with a Bentley anchor light

#1 Post by walter » Mon Aug 20, 2012 3:38 pm

Just as my luck goes, I was towing my toon with the bimini in the up position, and my anchor light must have grabbed a tree, well thankfully I only lost the cap to the light, light still works and all is good but now I need to find a cap/cover for it.

Unfortunately I can't see any kind of name or number on the light or pole. It is the kind that mounts to the top back of my bimini and is about 12" long. My question is does anyone with a Bentley happen to know what brand light these may be? It's about a 1-3/4" diameter for the cap and has a white plastic collar that the cap fits on. Any ideas where to buy just the cap? I seen one on West Marines site but they don't give any kind of size.

Help a guy out....if you can, and thanks. :prayer

It's most likely made by Attwood.

My previous link to Bently / Encore does not work now, and I can't even find a web page for them. What's up with that, anyone know what it is?

Try:

Main website is: http://encoreboatbuilders.com/

To contact them, sign onto: http://encoreboatbuilders.com/?page_id=59

First, try your local boat dealership to see if they have the lens in stock. Stern lights are generic items commonly used across the board by different manufacturers.

I went through a couple of those caps. I ended up with a glass one that lasted forever. It was still on my old 75 when I sold it. (stern light was on the motor)

It is confirmed it is an Attwood, I email Bentley yesterday and they prombtly replied this morning with the model # and make (Attwood). I did find some of just the caps online, but one of the forum members sent me a message, he has an old one from his Bentley and is going to mail it too me. Thanks Rick!

What year is yours? I broke mine off with a big float and replaced it with a Perko. Mine is a 2008 model.
