underwater lights and cup holderlight

Help Support Classic Parker Boat Forum:
The underwater lights, assuming they’re factory, are a known weak point. Almost everyone experiences failures with them. You have two options: buy another one of the same type, with the knowledge that they’re garbage and you’re going to have to keep replacing them, or replace both of them with Lumitecs and be done with it. I’d go option B, but that’s just me.
As far as the cup holder light goes, unless you’re really passionate about having light-up cup holders, I’d just unplug them. Can’t for the life of me see why I’d need that, other than the “cool factor”. If you do want to keep it, I doubt they’re serviceable; probably have to replace the whole thing. Pull it out, get a model number off it, and order a new one online.

Those under water lights are junk. If you read any parker forum people complain about them.
My own dealer said I don't understand why parker makes such a solid boat and puts that junk.
Mine never worked from the dealer.
Currently I am going to swap out the stock ones with Macris industries miu 15. The nice part about these is all I have to do is make bigger the hole for the wiring, epoxy closed the screw holes to the old lights and then these lights are mounted with some 4200. Best part is they can be had for $200 on hodges marine. I looked at some of the lumitech stuff and it was like 600-800 to replace the lights.

If your read around they get very good reviews.

Yes the macris lights can it’s just 4200 holding it. Plus at $200 a light at Hodges marines it’s a good deal.
If you go on YouTube tons of high end boats with the macris
