Abstract

A transom light includes a lamp and a shroud attached to the lamp. The shroud includes a hollow part and a flange, both arranged substantially concentrically relative to a central axis of the lamp. The hollow part is adapted to receive the lamp therein, and the shroud flange is axially received within a transparent lens such that it is surrounded by an axially projecting lip upstanding from the lens. A gasket is disposed axially against the shroud flange opposite the lens so as to axially overlap both the shroud flange and the lip of the lens. An arrangement is provided for securing the lens, shroud flange and gasket to a watercraft hull, with the lamp and the hollow part of the shroud received in an opening in the hull. Structure is provided on the lens to retain thereon a decorative bezel arrangement.
