The starboard side navigation light on my 228G has a cracked lens .
Does anyone know if I can get a replacement lens or do I need to replace the complete light assembly.
Anyone know who makes the light for GW?

LED is the way to go. Just buy a universal light. The LED ones are extremely bright and barely use any power. I love them. I've put one on my last three boats. Good investment.

I replaced both lenses after I cracked one with perko replacements Spare Green Lens #0273DPGLNS
Spare Red Lens #0273DPRLNS from West marine. Had to be special ordered.
Also replaced the bulbs with festoon leds from Marinebeam.com, popped right in and didn't have to replace the whole fixture.

Make sure to get red and green leds for the nav lights, white leds behind colored lenses don't work well.
Marine Beam is a great site with a well put together FAQ on leds, I did my all around and cockpit lights too.
They are brighter than traditional festoons.

Thanks for the part number, I only need the green one, I found them at dusky sport for $11.95 http://www.duskyonline.com/0273DPGLNS-p-lures.html
I will order it from them.
I already use LED festoon globes..
