I love the led lights on the back of my boat that shine down on the water. Two of the ones from the factory are not working and I think are broken or dead. Any idea where I might be able to get the replacement for these? I have my dealer looking into it but they didn't find out anything when I had the boat winterized and I still haven't heard from them. I wonder if there's not a better source than from the factory. These are blue lights and are above the water fastened to the bottom of the swim deck.

TRY http://www.superbrightleds.com/

Did you buy the boat brand new. I am thinking that the last owner installed them.

I bought the boat new and the lights are factory installed. I've replaced my cabin lights with lights from that company however I did not find these on that site. Obviously I would like to replace these with the same ones the factory used. I'm sure Fourwinns sourced them from a supplier I just haven't been able to locate them and so far Fourwinns dealer has not been much help. I think it's time to give them a call again and light a fire.

Have you tried http://www.imtra.com/

Some good to high end stuff!

These are LEDS, they should last 100,000 hours or so. Now your saying 2 lights are not working. So now you'er saying, tell me somethng that I don't know! I don't see 2 LED lights, burning out at the same time that are 4 to 5 yrs. old.

With that in mind. Have you checked to see if there getting power?? You did not mention that you did.

Call Four Winns directly and speak to somebody in parts...surely they can help you. Then, find a new, more responsive dealer to do business with.

These will be a better replacement than what the factory supplies, and should be plug and play.

The dealer finally found the lights for me. The lights from Fourwinns are $21.95 each plus shipping. I'll see what the part numbers are and keep those if anyone else comes up needing them. I like the lights but I think they have changed to a different system in the past year or so.

Good price for LEDs. Did you check to see if power was going into the lights?

Power...heck no that would be too obvious. Seriously, the other ones on there are working and I can see a crack in the ones that are not lit. I'm guessing our Seadoo bumped them when we my son had it tied on the back of the boat.

OOOOOH! I just thought it was odd that you had more than one out.

Not the cheap round factory lights you desire, but Attwood makes some decent underwater lights for $45. Vertical or horizontal mounts.

Or possibly more in line with your budget. Some underwater LED lights made by SeaChoice, priced from $12 to $20.

I'm not actually looking for any underwater lights right now. I've seen those Four Winns style lights used inside the cockpit as accent lights and that's why I am interested.

Dozens of choices for non-waterproof accent lights available for even less than the $20 for the brand FW used under the swimplatform.

These have their own built in switch which can be handy.

And many, many more like here for example.
