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.


Here is the Fourwinns part number: 026-0739-04. I should have the lights in the next week or so. I'll see if there is a manufacturer or any other markings or numbers on the box or light and let you know. I have the blue lights in my cockpit and really like them.

I don't have any lights in my arch and I would like to add some in there so maybe these would work for that application as well.

Just buy a stock arch/courtesy light and add a Blue LED bulb to it. Our boat has Perko fixtures, and I added blue LED's to them and am quite happy with the result.

Does anyone know the bulb size/style for the factory anchor light, navigation light on a 2000 H180?

No I was not able to see a manufacturer or part number on the lights. It's been a while since I ordered them from my dealer but I don't recall them being a lot of money.

The real problem is replacing them. I can unscrew them from underneath no problem however from the inside they are all the way to the rear of the molded swim platform. There is no way I can get my arm back in there to get to the wires that have hold downs that are screwed into the fiberglass. My wife even tried getting her skinny arms in there to no avail. On top of that you have to lie across the engine to get to the area. I haven't a clue as to how they installed those lights.

I may go with a different style of light if another goes out just to be able to replace.

They were most likely installed before the upper part of the hull was married to the lower. I just replaced my port side blower on Friday and had some choice words. 5 screws holding in in, 3 on the pvc pipe and 2 to the hull. Piece of cake if the upper isnt on, but give me a break 3 of them took a contortionist and a lot of cuss words plus a couple hours.

I know they pack alot of systmes in a small package, but it seems as though it could be thought through more.

Didnt mean to hijack, rant over.

Not a hijack at all. Yes that's how I suspect they installed the lights but how in the devil am I supposed to replace one. I share your frustration and know exactly what you mean.

I wonder if you can feed new wire in and connect it to any interior light wire or directly to the Battery. Its messy but might work. I'll look at mine
