Are there any replacments for the little white spot lights in the engine compartment mine are broken and hanging by the wires

Mine are the same way. I hear it's a common problem. With the base of those things being so small and the beating they go thru, it's no wonder they all break. I have been going to look at some RV supply places to see what them may have but there always seems to be something higher on the list.

Im thinking of buying some of those gold colored metal ones you see at Marine supply stores and painting them white.......

I bought a direct replacement at BoatUS but it was expensive. When the next one broke the same way (at the base), I machined a new base out of billet AL. I think that someone else here also made a new base for theirs out of nylon, delrin or some other plastic material.

Do a search on this. Someone had great replacements but cannot remember where.

I made them from delrin. Hit them many times and still there. Was going to go with AL, but the delrin machines so much faster. And for those Gov't jobs, time is a factor.

was looking at a new Cig at the lake they used Tractor Work lights like the ones you see on Cat equip.. Pretty durable

I used the factory style marker lite that the Fountains have on the center on the transome for nite drivin. No more mount to break!!! Thinking about blue bulbs to fit, so at nite when the hatch is open has a nice blue glow to match all me blue anodized parts, just can't find them???!!!

Try Auto Zone or Pep boys They are good for the Rice rocket parts they may have what you want in blue bulbs

One of my friends, goes by 27fountain on OSO, was making the bases out of aluminum. Several of us in Cincinnati have them now and they are really nice. I had mine powdercoated for an extra $7, for both. Not sure if he is making anymore, but the ones that he made are nice. No more worries about the bases breaking. I think I paid $20 each for the bases, but that was over a year ago and can't remember that far back, anymore.
