Shawn,
Where did you get the bulb holders for the original hull "eye" lights?
Mine need replacing and have not found a source.

Sorry, a bit confusing. Yes, I have two sets of bow lights - the original
in-hull "eye" lights which are currently not functional, and a bi-colour
light hanging from the pulpit, which I don't like. I have new bulb holders
for the original lights, so I will try to get them going again, or at least
Shawn,
I think I might be missing something. Are you planning to remove the light
from the bow pulpit or the stern pulpit?
As I read it "although I plan to delete the pulpit light and re-activate
the original bow lights" it almost sounds like you are referring to 2
different sets of red and
I'd like to see this circuit too, it sounds interesting. It might be a

though. Yesterday my AC wiring job resulted in removal of my hot water

Thanks, that makes sense to maintain both (although I plan to delete the
pulpit light and re-activate the original bow lights). I wasn't aware the
tri-light provides the aft light, but that makes sense.

Rick, I love the idea of the SOLAS tape!Thanks everyone for a lot of great
insights and ideas. I'm going to mull it around for q bit before making a

Thanks everyone for supporting
I was kinda halfway hoping someone might find it useful... The other half
was fearful that someone would ask since I'll have difficulty finding it!

COLREGS (Rule 30, I think) calls for a vessel 50 meters or more in length to
show 2 all around white lights, with the one nearest the stern at a lower
height than the light near the bow. Vessels over 100 meters are to also show
working lights or general illumination in addition to the anchor
I use the tri-color because it lights up my windex. It also doesn't
destroy my night vision like the deck lights do. I keep a flashlight with
me or near the helm and I'm quick to light up the sail in the event of

Neil,
Are you referring to 2 lights as anchor lights? I believe the answer is -
no two anchor lights are not allowed since that would add confusion as to
the status of the boat. ie: 2 lights could be mistaken for something
else. Now if you decided to string any other light in addition to the
We never use the tricolor unless offshore. Poweboaters do not look up. Lately
they seem to go by with their faces illuminated by their TV size chart
plotters, so I figure if it isn't on the plotter it does not exist. AIS is
always on!

Are the two lights appropriate for anchoring per the COLREGs?

A warning on LED anchor light bulbs. My ancient big incandescent bulb has a
“size”. I have come around the bend on a dark and hazy night to see a bunch of
blue-white stars above the treeline that looked utterly disconnected from the
boats at the surface level.
Bug issues aside, some kind of
Just remember that a masthead tricolor with a steaming light is NOT a
recognized nav light configuration; you need to use deck-level nav lights with
a steaming light when under power. Masthead tri can only be used when sailing.

+1 on that.
In a seaway, the deck level navigation lights are not visible, until you are
one wave away or if you happen to be in sync with the other boat (both boats at
the top of the wave at the same time). The mast top light is visible for at
least hundreds of meters.
On flat water (a
What is required and what is smart are not always the same. A masthead
tri-color is not what I would use here in the Chesapeake as many (power)boaters
don’t look up. At sea, I wouldn’t use anything else.
You can’t use both at the same time, but you can have both on your boat and use
what is
Our boat came with a new Davis LED anchor light, but I haven't pulled or
been up the mast yet, so I attached it to one side of our solar arch, just
above the panels, and we just run a cord with an accessory plug when
required. We've been out in the dinghy at night, and it's clearly visible

Bruce, the plastic tri light lens pretty much disintegrated but it was 5 years
older than yours! I think the regs say an all round light installed where it
can best be seen so there is some flexibility but remember a mast head light
illuminates the top rigging too. At night in an anchorage
Aside from Joe's comment on bugs, I see value in a "deck level" anchor
light. I have one similar to this:

There are replacement Aqua Signal lenses for some lights on the internet
that are a lot cheaper than replacement fixtures. I replaced all my
running light lenses and bulbs last year. I assume there are replacement
lenses for the anchor light as well.

Hello all,
I read through your thoughtful responses, and realized the plastic lens up
there is probably crazed/cracked suggesting full replacement.
Then, it occurred to me that I don't like the idea of an anchor light 55+ feet
up in the air. Unless you know you're in an anchorage, it would
