Cupholder Lighting Install

[gmdog2]

I did 2 of the 4 possible for my pontoon. If your boat is equipped as mine, pretty straightforward to install. Just a matter of connecting the 4 wires properly

Did you find a connector for the 4-wires to plug into the wire harness?

I used this.

Awesome, was on the same path as that..was trying to find OEM numbers.. thx again

 

[Dan Rothweiler]

No problem. Let me know if you can where you got the side lighting components. I wouldn't mind adding that using the last un-used zone on my system. I am curious to know where you got your parts. Thanks so much!

I have a 18’ 23SSRXP with RGB speakers with the color selector switch. My cup holders are not illuminated but are the same components that are shown in your part number reference minus the LED. Does anyone know where I can get the LED’s without buying the assembly. Out of curiousity, how many zones does the light controller on come with?

 

[Dan Rothweiler]

Mine has 3 zones but that might be different than yours. My boat came with the RGB wiring diagram that shows how it is set up. I tried to find a source for just the LED's for the cupholder but was unable. If you don;t have the right kind, they may not illuminate correctly so i bought the whole assembly. Pretty simple install once you get the wire correct.

Dan, Thanks for your response. Sounds easy enough!

Rgb wiring diagram? I am searching for the wiring to hook up rgb sidelights underdeck. I read it was in the bow but couldn’t find it! Any suggestions? I have the 2019 g model

For those that are wanting to install the lighted cup holders I summarized my process and part numbers. The p/n's from Dan are still the same when I bought them 05/2024.

I ordered 10 OEM RGB lighted cupholders from ITC (supplier of Bennington) to replace my non-lighted ones. The rep asked me if I had the Verisacolor lighted controller which I did since my boat was ordered with the toe kick lighting and RGB kicker speaker lights. I did order the OEM wiring harness from Bennington which made life a lot easier. For the cupholders I ordered the factory 4 pin connector and terminals from digikey. Lastly ordered some clam shells to cover the holes in the boat where the harness came up through the floor and some large stainless cushion clamps for the wiring harness under the desk (plus some zip ties).

Parts List for OEM RGB Lighted Cup Holders:

ITC-81429SS304-RGB RGB Lighted Cup Holder
016673 - RGB Lighted Cup Holders - Wiring Harness
DigiKey - MISC - Amphenol 4 pin electrical connectors, pins, wedges, caps
MISC - 10x Ancor marine grade SS 2.5" cushion clamps
MISC - Nylon marine clamshell cover for wiring harness holes

If anyone needs the MISC Digikey p/n's for OE connectors, pins, wedges and caps to terminate unused connectors let me know and I can include those.
