Hi guys. I could use some help. I looked at some old threads but could not find what I needed. Please see the picture below / attached (not sure where it shows up).

I just purchased this boat (used obviously) and it needs some work. It came with "special" aft docking lights (see above transom speakers - these are on a separate switch at the helm) as well as it came with under water swim platform lighting.

Question #1: How can I identify the part # and bulb # for the Aft docking lights? The port side lens / seal is broken and bulb burnt out. Does anyone have the same lights on their boat? I need to replace.

Question #2: Assuming I can figure out the part# / bulb # for the docking lights, CAN I and or SHOULD I switch them to BLUE LED for effect? I realize I may lose some of the practical functionality when docking at night if I switch to BLUE. Note: These docking lights are NOT my transom running light which I know needs to remain white.

Question #3: The under water swim platform lights I know is a standard SR option.
A. How effective are these lights? I'm in the murky waters of RI. As a side note I had installed 3 Abyss on my last 300 DA and loved them (the abyss are installed under the water line - I'm debating if the under WATER lights are no longer necessary if I have under swim platform lights)

B. Do they sell a BLUE LED replacement bulb and CLEAR lens for these standard under swim platform SR lights?

I know............I'm a little BLUE LED "happy" but the first boat the XXXX flock too at Block Island is always the Gabagoo!!! TRUST me on this one. :thumbsup:

Thanks in advance for anyone's help. Most of you guys have forgotten more than I know about SR's and boating in general and ALWAYS appericate the help. :huh:

Interesting pod with the lights and speakers. Probably not a factory option. While not for me it appears to be done nicely.
 
I have the same under water lights that you have. In murky water they will probably give you about 5 foot radius of light since they are right at the water line. Not much depth.They are good for lighting the area around the swim platform for easy boarding but not much of a "wow" factor.
 
I have the same question, if one can replace the clear lens or white lamps with blue..

After calling Barnegat, I found that the lamps and lens cannot be replaced, they are "potted" for waterproofing. However, they can be replaced with blue led fixtures. "Model QL-SPL-LED-B. They have the same mounting hole pattern as the original."
