Guess it only took like 19 years for them to make it to eBay, but in the end, I guess everything ends up here!!! :yes_grin:

P.S. Added the eBay contact to the parts list.

I just ordered the LED's for the Courtesy Lights from the Vendor in Florissant, MO , and just for the White and Red Lamps, 5 ea, it cost me $37. I was going to replace the Anchor and Bow Light's, but they were $10 @, and like you had mentioned before, it would be a good idea to have a few spares.

The Whole project just for LED's would have cost me almost $100 if I had purchased the Bow and Stern Lamps with spares. So Iopted for just the courtesy lights.

Heres an upgrade to LED docking lights i installed (cuz i wanted docking lights) on mine last summer. They were very simple to install since all you need is a hole for the wire to pass thru to the light which screws (or bolts) into the hull. And since the wiring is already in place for all older Mariahs, it was easy to do.

Docking lights are Attwood model 6520 that were available thru iboats.com

Hey Mikey, looking good :wink_thumbup:.

Any possibibity of you getting a picture or two of the lights at night, I'm sure our members would like to see how well they light up the area in front of your Shabah and how far the light reaches.

Thanks,
WetWilly

Here is a picture of an LED bank that had a stick on back. It's not visually pretty, but since it was for the inside panels on both sides, nobody see's them. Not sure if the sticky back will last long, but I was told, they will last by the vendor....

The light it produces is excellent!

I'll try and post a picture at night.

Yeah, much better with my glasses on! :eek_animated:

I think the wiring is there as well on mine, but just out of curiosity, does the wiring connect to a switch already in the panel, or do I have to get another rocker switch?
