Rinker 310 EC Swim Light switch?

oscar1

I have a switch with a label  "swing light" in my console panel which I cannot find what its is turning on or off.  I will appreciate If anyone have any idea where these wire go to. Thx

Wiring harness at the very back transom possibly inside the swim platform. There should be a small pigtail sticking out with a connector on it. I will try to get a pic today. Here is @aero3113 ‘s pic

I am pretty sure Rinker used the same wiring harness in all their express cruisers.

@oscar1 - Do you have any underwater/platform lights? That's what that switch is for.

This was my original panel marked "Swim Light" (bottom row, 4th from right). Should be same as yours since we have same model 310 EC...



When I upgraded my switches I changed the name to "Underwater Lights"...



If you don't have lights installed, then the wiring is as @YYZRC says so you can install some.

I have under water light but I used a different switch on the panel back then, It never cross my mind the swim light switch, don't ask me. I am going to look for the white pigtail mention from YYZRC. The reason I am looking for the wire at this time is because I am finaly in the process of installing an engine room light recommend for Larea and I read in the comment section that the switch light is not connected to anything in some model, so I would like to used the switch for my new light. Thx

@oscar1 here is my pigtail:

@oscar1 I used IP67 lights and tapped into the cockpit light circuit as there are lots of extra connectors in the harness. Blue wire with black stripe. 

 

I added a switch so that they are not always on with the cockpit lights.

Where did you get those lights? 

YYZRC

Amazon but I’m sure lots of other options.

Appreciate YYZRC for the pics of the location of the pigtail and the great idea using those flood light in the engine-room. I am going to look for my pigtail tomorrow. Thx

I think you should hook your swim lights up to the swim light pigtail and use your new accessory circuit for the engine room lights!
