Expert Answers about Dock Lights


  • Troubleshooting Docking Lights Not Working With Switch on 2005 Lance 821
  • It looks like there are 3 different fuses for the rear docking lights on your 2005 Lance 821. I'm assuming the power and backup fuses located in the exterior fuse panel are fine. This leaves the interior lighting circuit which is circuit #4 on the power distribution center. If that checks out then it is likely a short in the wiring.

  • Where To Mount LED Pontoon and Fishing Boat Docking Lights On Pontoon Boat

  • Recommendation for a Tire for Use on Portable Dock to Ease Removing Dock from Lake
  • You have a few different options to help you with removing your home-made lake dock from the water. One is to use a winch. The linked article explains the various types of hand winches available and if you have a place to mount one (such as on a vehicle, ATV or fixed mounting point near your dock) a winch will take most of the burden off you as you pull the wheeled dock out of the water. I also included a link to our main page for winches. Another option is to add a second wheel/tire to...

  • Dimensions of the Optronics Halogen Docking Light Kit

  • Where to Ground Docking Lights On a Jon Boat
  • On a boat you would want to ground docking lights # DL-16CC to the negative battery terminal. You will want the connections to be water tight as best as you can. Shrink tubing, electrical tape, and even liquid electrical tape # SWC50122 will help protect electrical connections from water. You can also use dielectric grease, # 11755, between electrical connections. This special grease is hydrophobic so it will repel moisture.

  • Can The Optronics LED RV Utility Light Be Used As A Docking light On A 2021 Dynamax Isata 5 36DS
  • Looking into the light you have a bit it appears it's either been discontinued or is only purchasable by an OEM manufacturer. We don't really have a selection for motorhome dock lights so the Optronics LED RV Utility Light - Submersible # UCL60CB you referenced would be the closest option. It's a surface mount design so you'd need to remove the trim cover and screw into the wall of the motorhome to mount it. Before purchasing I recommend measuring just how much space you have since the...

  • Can LED Docking Lights # DLL50CC be Installed on a 2007 Chevy Express Cargo Van
  • If you do not mind drilling into the vehicle you can install the LED docking lights, # DLL50CC, any where that you want. They can be wired as flood lights and turned on when you wanted, including when backing up. The only problem is you would have to remember to turn them off when you were done backing up. They do not meet DOT requirements for backup lights so the van would also need its OEM reverse lights. You can wire these lights directly to the battery and turn them off an on using...
