It needs to be "shimmed" to fit over the rub rail. The lens just floats free in the housing. It is not water tight. The 2 included attachment bolts are not long enough to attach the light. The fixture has iron in it (attracts a magnet), and not chrome over bronze like the original BW light. But... they are way less money than the BW light. ...other than that they're great! EDIT: just looked at Ebay. The parts offered are only for the metal cover for the lens, not for a complete bow light. jb Edited by jbfla on 02/25/07 - 8:08 PM

($9.50 in Hawaii) The only difference is the replacement has no holes for the two small screws that hold on the light assembly. I suggest not drilling but using a piece of 3/16 brass tubing and heating it and melting the holes in the correct place. The plastic is rather brittle and I cracked all the ones I tried to drill on the green side. You could probably heat a drill bit if you can't get the tubing. Post Comment
