Hello there,

Anyone have any idea on why one of the underwater lights wouldn't be working. The lights on the right side work perfectly but the ones on the left do not turn on. I had issues with them earlier. It's a 2020 boat and the underwater lights have only been used for the first time this summer. When I used them first, the breaker kept on tripping. I then realized that I had the wrong boat model setup in my configuration. When I switched it to our boat that seemed to fix the issue. But now this. Anyone have any thoughts

I’d double check the wire harness connections at the transom of the boat. The waterproof connectors are a real pain to get snapped in perfectly and I had one wiggle loose on ours as it looks like it wasn’t filled snapped in from the factory. Wires are clearly labeled.

I sound like a total noob but where exactly are they located on the boat? I know in the rear, but more specifically. I haven't had many issues like this before so I'm not familiar with the electrical stuff haha. If it looks too scary I'm not gonna touch it ha.

It will look like these. They will be within a foot or two of each light inside of the boat. It isn’t scary and you can’t really mess anything up. It is just real tight back there. You’ll have to remove the engine panel dividers.
