I'm sorry if this is a repeat but i cannot find the info i am looking for. I am restoring a 1985 Sport 15' CC and would like to replace the bow chock but cannot find a source for the bow chock. it has a Perko light on top of it which I have found but I cannot find a source for the actual chock and hardware. I would rather find a replacement than trying to have the chock and hardware re-chromed. Anyone have a source or other ideas? thank you.

thanks, Joe. non of these reference the Perko units and I'm told by Specialty Marine that their replica will not work with the Perko light. I will try Tri City Marine though which i did not see before.

I almost fell off my rocker when I saw how much one of the replacement bow chock lights cost from the places you're talking about. It cost just as much to have it re-chromed. I was thinking about powder coating it too but didn't think it would last. I just needed one of the pins and screws to complete one that I found at a marine flee market. Try Ebay. Sometimes they have them on there and you can get a better deal.

I agree. The cost is crazy for replacement. I had not checked on price to re-chrome yet but glad to know its no bargain either.

Max366 you're a life saver. I went to the site from your post and was amazed at the cost of the bow chock. Although they were out of stock I think they will still honor the cost while it's on sale. Regardless I ordered one of the pins to fix the one I have and its on its way. Thanks again!

Somewhere I read that Marine Part Depot and Specialty Marine are the same operation. Any truth to this?
