    1990 seafarer, needs new rear cup holders and pole light

    I just was wondering where I could get new rear cup holders and a new pole light, my marina broke it, but anyways it would be nice to know where I could get a quality pole light on my 1990 seafarer, I really don’t care about the cup holders as long as they work and are metal.
