Aqua Signal still makes the masthead tri-color and west Marine still
sells them. They are on the following page of their online catalog.
http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?store
Id=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=10001&productId=1243&catalogId=10001&classN
um=236&subdeptNum=235&storeNum=9   

Sailnet used to sell them for less, however; I don't see them listed in
their online catalog (only the tri-color with anchor light).

My M17 has a masthead tricolor, red and green in front, white in back,
one bulb.  No "anchor light" as such.
The tricolor is very similar to the Aquasignal series 40, although it
doesn't look as if Aquasignal makes the
tricolor anymore, but rather a bicolor with anchor light, which would
seem to better meet your needs anyway.
The light is mounted on a pedestal screwed to the masthead and the
wiring runs through the mast to a
through-deck (through-hull) plug next to that mast-step.  The West
Marine catalog link is:

ductId=17988

I imagine, with a link this long, you'll have to copy and paste it to
your internet address window.

My light is shot, it's so old the plastic is very clouded, and I've been
thinking about alternatives to the
masthead, but lately I've been thinking maybe I prefer to have all nav.
lights at the top of the mast, up out
of the way.

Endelig is coming along.  I am now working on the lighting.  Cabin and
fore and aft running lights are now working.
Did old M-17's have a masthead anchor light?  There is a switch on the
panel which says "Mast" and a dead end wire at the aft edge of the
forward hatch but I see no evidence of an opening or wire stub going to
the mast or a place for mounting on the masthead.
The previous owner told me that she had knocked the anchor light off
when she was stepping the mast, but could not find the fixture.  I have
really looked the mast over and can't find a place where it might have
been attached.
Can you help me, again?

Thanks,

Bill Sylvester
