Thanks, Doug: That search worked. I had planned to go ahead and replace the tri, but now I'm not sure, given the revelation that a masthead light is not legal under power. Maybe I'll just go with a white masthead and hunt for decklights . . . --Craig

Thanks Doug Kelch --- Honshells <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Mark, It looks to me like W.M. only offers three choices: 1. Bicolor mounted on a strobe anchor light, 2. Bicolor, just red and green, not white in back, 3. Bicolor mounted on a normal anchor light. Am I missing something? My light is red, front port, green, front starboard, white in back. I might be overlooking something on the site, but it looks like the closest thing W.M. carries is the plain ol' bicolor with no anchor-light . . . You link is the same one I originally posted. I'm sure any of the three, however, will fit the mount I have.

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).

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: http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?store Id=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=10001&pro 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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Sylvester" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2004 7:55 PM Subject: New Old M-17 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 M-17 #279 Endelig _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
