    2002 Gamber 2100 restoration... need help please.

    I recently purchased a 2002 Gambler 2100 that is in need of some TLC. Does anyone know where you can get replacement lights/housings on the consoles sides(the ones that are in the passway area between the seats and the front casting deck)?

    Also, I am attempting to remove the center step section and replace it with the optional seat that came along with the boat. However, it appears the little knobs holding it in are stuck, and I can't loosen them. Any thoughts on getting them loose? Would hitting them with some WD40 help?

    I see a lil black nipple (almost like the trim tab adjustment) below the trim tab adjustment. Any clue what this is for? It doesnt seem to have anything inside it switch wise? Also there is a small little toggle switch above the indash flasher on the very right side of the dash, any ideas what this might be for? Its the type of switch that has to be held in order to be on. When you let go it returns back to the off position.

    Any other tips on a 2002 Gambler 2100 are appreciated. I am learning how everything works by trial and error. Not the quickest way, but I'm catching on.

    Any assistance is much appreciated.

    josh...hit the knobs with some pb blaster, and get some vise grips on them...you can buy replacements at a hardware store...as far as those switches, they were added after i had it...the trim tab switch was all that was on that panel...see if you can get a pic of them and send them to me...

    Thanks for the input!

    I will do try to get a pic of the dash this week so you can see the switch I am talking about. Any thoughts on a # to get ahold of Gamber in order to get those lights on the sides of the console replaced? The passenger console light housing appears to have gotten broken, even though the light itself still works.

    Thanks again!

    gambler seems to use ordinary marine supply switches, lights, hardware etc.... the split bow lights are perko manufacter. The courtesy lights or probably perko as well. check attwood also, Perko and Attwood are the two most common brands..The bump rail is made by Taco manufactureing just for referance..........markmcisaacinc.com
