2009 246 courtesy lights

keads

I have a 2009 246 open bow and the courtesy lights at the bow and stern blink now.  The ones in between are fine, I’ve checked all of the connections, and was just wondering if this is a common problem and if they just need replaced. The boat has had limited use with only 250hrs.

Prob lights failing, pretty sure the original lights came from ITC. Not expensive at all.

Typically the lights fail due to solder joints being compromised from vibration.  If you're good with a soldering iron, disassemble the light and resolder the broken leg on the led.  You will see an led, a resistor and a circuit board.  Pretty simple.  Or, just replace it.
