Courtesy lights 3900 Sovran

[Bdouglass]

Does anybody know how to replace a courtesy life on a 3900 Sovran? The fixture seems to be bonded to the fiberglass. I’d ultimately like to replace them with blue lights, but need to replace one as it’s out.

Nor sure what was used on your 39 Sovran but on my 2003 38 Open the use cantalupi flush lights... They are NOT screwed in and are removable by pulling them really hard out of the top but be careful as there are springs that are used to hold them in... I've attached 2 examples and you will see the springs.... Again be very carful when pulling the light down/out as that spring will hurt your fingers should they come out unrestrained. M2C

Thanks for the reply, but it’s a different light.

May be different but it may use the same springs to keep it in the top .... Good luck

My apologies, I’m looking for the courtesy lights that light the deck from the side of the gunwales

I also had a courtesy light go out on my 2006 36 Open, but found the terminal had broken off the back. I don't think the bulb is replaceable and changed the entire fixture (now LED, I got the warm white version with SS ring). On my 36 Open they are Cantalupi LEDA, which was discontinued a few years ago. I found another very similar model available below: As to access, the front SS ring that spins is a press fit and can be pried off. This should expose screws that hold it into the hole. The new one from Apex is made the same way, very close, but slightly different, so I changed the adjacent one as well. They took a long time to ship, so order early, if you do.

Thanks for the replies. I was able to get the replacement bulbs through Imtra. They were the original supplier (different bulb, but exact fit). Tiara Yachts customer service has been able to help on a few different issues. If anyone needs questions answered, Tiara Yachts customer service is absolutely the best I’ve ever dealt with.

I was getting ready to chime in but glad you got it resolved. We love our 39 Sovran by the way!

We absolutely love ours as well. It lives well, performs well and has timeless classic design, what is there not to love. The IPS system is incredible. Sure, it might take a bit more maintenance, but the boat handles like no other. Not sure why people slam the system so badly. Although I’ve learned, it’s slammed by those who don’t have them.
