Does anyone know where I could find a replacement for a navigation light lens for a Four Winns 278 vista ?

Welcome.

I would start at Four Winns.

A picture and year might help.

Thanks, but I don’t see a screw for mounting it to the base. The problem is that the lens is screwed on to a base and the base is mounted from the inside of the cabin. In order to get to the wiring and base , I’d have to take quite a few things a part in the cabin. I’m hoping to find a lens that mounts to the base.

Judging by your pic it's look like the lens cannot be removed. You may have to replace the whole light assembly.

What is the phillips head screw for? It looks like it holds the case down and it is slid forward to access the bulb and lens.

Only one way to find out. Remove the screw & see what happens. But I don't know where you can source a new lens.

It screws in to the base of the light assembly. It looks like I have a lot of work ahead of me. Very difficult to get to where the light assembly is mounted from underneath.
Thanks everyone for your help!

Well, if you remove the screw maybe the housing can be removed exposing the lens. One way to find out.

I took the screws out but it still won’t come off. Think it might be epoxied on or screwed on from underneath.

There might be foam adhesive below the light. Just remove all the screws and pull it off. Google Aqua Signal Series 20s to find a new replacement.

Got it! There was a rubberized adhesive holding it. I used a putty knife very carefully to remove it. Thanks for all your help.
