2001 226 stern light replacement

[smhgator]

Hello-

I have a new to me 01 226. The previous owner replaced the stock (broken) motorized stern light with a non motorized light that does not seal the hole.

I was thinking of replacing that with a plug in stern light base that could seal the hole, and stow the light pole when in storage.

Has anyone in the forum done this? If so, did it work ok? Please feel free to make any suggestions on how to address the problem

Thank you in advance

I just went through this. Replaced my non-working motorized light with an adaptor plate sold by safeglowhips.com and then installed a Perko 2-pin plug (1045POSDP) with a removable light pole. Works perfect.

Thanks so much, that’s perfect!
