Need the part that mounts to the boat. Round and has 3 screws. It's a little bigger than what Perko has been selling for the last 20 years. Does not use a chrome ring. Exposed part is all metal. Need the masthead/anchor light pole too. Thx!

I would look at replacing/upgrading. Fountain used a 3pin which in turn requires a split light. This is good if the light is mounted even with or forward of driver as you would have a forwards facing mast light and the back half would be dark underway. However ours are mounted at the stern of the boat so you have a while light on cockpit at all times either way.
I just bought a 2 pin pole with reduced glare globe. I will rewire my factory base to 2 pin and be done with it.

I gave up finding a 3 pin base that fits. I did find a "heavy duty" 2 pin by Perko that looks like it will work but it's incredibly expensive and isn't built until it's ordered. My main problem is the center hole is too big for the current offerings by Perko. The 3 screws holes on the modern Perko base are right at the edge of the center hole. The special order base looks like it will fit without drilling new holes. I was about to bite the bullet and cough up $400 for an anchor light but realized it won't be ready before the 4th of July. That's what brought me here, hoping to find a base that will fit w/o modifying the boat.

Camaro is a 82 Z28 I bought in 84. T-top car. Originally had the Crossfire inj, but now it's a highly modified TPI.
