My rigger uses a portable right angle drill for hoisting him/crew up the mast. He likes the Milwaukee brand for ~$300-400. He used it to remove my roller furling recently with his crew hoisting him skyward with the drill and a #30 Lewmar 2 spped ST winch. He was afraid the winch would no give the drill the advantage it needed but it worked fine. FWIW, Charlie Nelson Water Phantom 1995 C&C 36 XL/kcb Oriental, NC cenel...@aol.com

If actually costs the same or less than the winch-rite AND you get a drill out of it too. I'll see if I can find more info.

I signed up for their newsletter. Hopefully there will be promotions. Do the tricolor/anchor and steaming/deck lights require 3 strand wire (2 hot, 1 ground)?

Icut out a little of the plastic to make more room. My wiring comes through the front there, and I have a tie wrapchoking the cord, (it is a good grade SO Cord), and that has held for nearly 20years, but a little more room would certainly been nice.

I pulled new 16AWG wire for everything to thebottom of the mast, then pulled a new common 12AWG ground from there to thepanel, along with 16AWG runs for the hots. The new lights are farbrighter than the old ones, and seem like they’ll do well in the weather. At the same time, I pulled new VHF and cell repeater antennaruns, and installed new antennas at the masthead; and I also installed an LEDWindex light wired with my compass light switch. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- Bayfield, WI On Aug 9, 2016, at 8:21 AM, Joel Aronson via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: It will be too hot in Annapolis for me this weekend, so Iwant to start on my boat show shopping list.
