Since "Audasea" is #278, I'd guess your setup is similar to mine!
She came with a small Perko all around light on top of the mast, which corroded away. It actually came apart in pieces. I replaced it with an Aqua-Signal 25, all around. It mounts on a small 2 piece bracket, which is made from 1/8" x 3/4" flat aluminum, which is riveted to the masthead. I have a picture of it I can send you. (reply to my email at [EMAIL PROTECTED]). One end of the bracket supports the light. On the other end is a Windex. The wiring runs from the electric panel, up through cored sections of the cabin top and exits the cabin top near the top of the support column on the V-berth. The wiring ends in a quick disconnect, thru-deck fitting , which is mounted to port of the deck step for the mast. Wires then run inside the mast. It also has a small Perko red/green light forward on the deck, and a 120 degree white light on the port stern. These were used instead of a masthead tri-color. If you go that route, you will have to run all new wires to the masthead. Howard Audsley M-17 #278 Audasea On 1/10/04 6:55 PM, "Bill Sylvester" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Endelig is coming along.
