I am going to replace my plastic bow docking lights with stainless steel digital lights. So the ones I have in now are car like old fashion one piece light bulbs with a long tub plastic tunnel to disperse the light. Any ideas to where I might find some updated digital lights that would fit the cutout already cut by Mariah builders in 1992?

To add it would be nice if the digital docking lights fit in the same cutout so they look original and professional.

Michaels1956, One of the problems you may run into is the angle of the hole after you remove the tubes. You may be stuck using the tubes. Check out "Mariah Headlight - Halogen to H.I.D. Upgrade" in the How To section in this forum, may give you some ideas. After I get my engine fixed or replaced the docking lights may be a project I look into. Mine are not bright enough to be much help. The tubes on the Z260 are stainless steel so I would not be looking to replace them. Good Luck

My docking light tubes are white plastic instead of stainless. One of my bulbs are burned out on the port side so I will end up changing them sometime early spring. I think the standard fixtures are pretty bright because when I turned on my docking lights the starboard lit up and was pretty bright. I may change out to digital if I can find a digital light that will fit the cutout hole perfectly.

My main concern right now is replacing both cracked exhaust manifolds with aluminum manifolds and putting a closed cooling system on my Merc-Cruiser engine and get rid of the salt water cooling running through my engine block and manifolds. :-)
