I just got my H230 last week and already have a nice little list of things I want to add including:

Dual batteries
Transom trim control
Underwater LED lighting
Upgraded stereo

When possible, I want to install factory OEM options. I've found it much easier in the past with service and warranty issues when I have installed OEM parts compared to aftermarket.

For all my cars, trucks, motorcycles, etc, there has always been websites that sold OEM parts and accessories at a significantly lower price than stealership prices. For example, www.gmpartsdirect.com for GM parts or www.cheapcycleparts.com for bike parts.

Is there a similar site for boats?

Why didn't you just order it with that stuff? Those are all factory options. Well anyways....

Dual batteries-- make your own "kit" using a quality switch and tinned marine wire. Easy as pie. Just don't forget a battery hold down/box so it doesn't fly away and start a fire.
Transom trim control -- factory plug in harness, get it from your dealer
Underwater LED lighting-- http://www.oceanled.us/home.html
Upgraded stereo-- Unlimited possibilities. Millions of threads in here. Personally I like Infinity Reference speakers and Kenwood head units. Polk makes awesome marine rated subwoofers (DB series). Just make sure whatever you get, it has Bluetooth

I would have ordered it with all those options but the boat was already built sitting on the showroom floor and the dealer gave me a killer deal so I picked it up.

That's why I want to do factory OEM upgrades to basically install the factory option now. A good buddy of mine is a marine specialist for Earmark Audio and is going to do all the work for me which is why I want to buy the parts myself.

From research it looks like the dealerships are the only place to get the OEM stuff. I dig the underwater LEDs you liked though, going to go that route as opposed to factory.

Check out this link, had it on my H200.. you will be surpised at how bright and how much this lights up the rear of the boat... Extremely bright, and because of the dome shaped lense which refracts the light, it comes around the sides and up about 3/4 the way to the bow... This was all true for me on the ocean, however, when I dropped my boat in a lake the water was kinda murky and you could only see the light on the wake and not when the boat was still. The install is SUPER easy, maybe 10 minutes and no drilling.

This may be one on the few options for many Four Winns owners, as the design of their hulls have the extended surface on either side of the outdrive with no drill through direct engine compartment access. Unless you would like to attach a transom mount light and run the wire on the outside on the hull, which wont be terrible if you have bottom paint and can also paint the wire. If you dont mind going that route, or do have direct engine compartment access, OR want to add both style transom lights (like I plan on with my 268) then I recommend these. I purchased a pair and these are BRIGHT, very similar in size and construction to a factory pair.. Very heavy duty and has a tough, rugged feel.

There are alot of online stores out there, and things for the boat can be expensive. Break Out Another Thousand. I know a lot of folks here use ebay I would recommend looking around for the best deal for parts. Some of things are marine spec parts that cannot be interchanged from the auto world. Some are.
