Nope as you would then be displaying the lights of a vessel greater than 50m at
anchor as seen from directly astern.
A picture is worth a lot and here is a good

Subject: Stus-List Electrical Question
The light I am talking about is the one 1/2 up the front of the mast
just above the spreaders....not the one on the top of the mast seen
360 degrees......I was told the one on the front of the mast is
longer a legal requirement but the one on the top of the mast is a
legal requirement when motoring or motor sailing.
Am I correct?

Rob — unless there have been changes in regs that I’m not aware
of, a steaming light (also referred to as a masthead light) IS still
required, when motoring at night, along
with the bow (or sidelights) and stern light. Maybe Canadian regs
are different.
On your existing fixture, the black is probably a
common ground for the deck and steaming light; the red and green
will be separate positive leads for each of the two lights.
The replacement light from the Binnacle may only
show one white wire; but my guess is that it contains three
conductors, the same as the existing fixture.

When
up the mast the other day, I noticed that my 'Steaming,
Bow, Foredeck Light' was in pretty bad
shape.....probably the original 32 years old. Will
probably replace it when the mast is hauled later this
Fall although I understand this light is no longer
legally required.......but I do like the halogen
foredeck light.
I
found this one linked below at the Binnacle.......almost
similar to the existing one:
Lights-Steaming-Spreader-&-Deck-Lights/c23_156/p1349/AAA-MASTHEAD-/-DECK-LIGHT/product_info.html
It
appears, without removing mine, that there are three (3)
white wires exiting the foot of the mast connecting to
'green, red and black' ......I assume the green is
negative, red is positive and black in ground.
Here's
the question......the new light fixture at the Binnacle
only has one white wire as a connection.......there is
(are) no other places on the back of the fixture to
connect other wires. So if my old fixture has 3
connections (assuming it does but I have not removed it
to be sure) and this new fixture only has one 'white
wire', how do you connect it?
As
you can tell, I am no electrician.
