Looking for a socket for running lights

[Chief Engineer]

I know we are primarily sailors on this board, but I have a problem. I have a customer with a Bertram that has a proprietary Bowlight/Chock. The sockets are shot in it. The Base has 3 small pins and the bulb has a 3 hole flange to hold it in.

I am hoping that those of you who have some expertise can lead me in the right direction. Bertram doesn't respond and the sites that "carry parts" don't respond either. A bertram forum gave me the advice to just get some regular pigtail fixtures and "silicone the **** out of it....sorry...My customers expect professional results not glop>>>>

Thanx

Without seeing the thing, I would suggest retro-fitting in a new type socket and up grade to something available.

I wonder if e-bay has anything? I got all my Aqua signal stuff from their.

You might have better luck finding specific information/help on a Bertram Owner’s site, such as:
Bertram 31 - Bertram31.com
Bertram33.com
etc ...

Chief, if you look up the bulb type on some of the internet "we carry all bulbs" sites, you can probably find out what the bulb BASE is referred to as. Bi-pin, bayonet, candelabra, Edison, it will have some kind of name. Once you've got the name, it becomes possible to search for sockets of the same type. Or, if you can post a picture of it, perhaps someone will recognize it.
