Courtesy Light Blown

[ECR]

Hello -

Over the weekend we had our courtesy lights on at night. There is one rocker switch at the transom (starboard) that turns them all on/off.

All of a sudden they started flickering and then all lights went completely out. After smelling a burning smell I found that one small courtesy light on the transom was completely blown. The whole inside is burnt.

When I replace the light will that cause all the other lights on the chain to come back on? I checked for any additional blown fuses and I couldn’t find one.

Would appreciate any insight - I’m not great with electrical.

Thank you,
Eric

Pretty sure the others will work. On my 2010 25SC I have used this light, ITC (80495-DB Oval Courtesy Light.
I had bought it on Amazon but now I see it has been discontinued. You may find another source for it.

Thanks Brian - appreciate it!

The lens tends to yellow over time. I got replacements here: https://www.replacementboatparts.com/ovalcourtesylightclearlensonly.aspx

I found the normal lamps slightly melted the lens, so I replaced them with LEDs. They are brighter, cooler, run with less power, and last much longer.
