I tried that for the reason you state and every bug in the creek showed up at deck level ☹

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 be very easy to confuse the light (especially new, 600K bright LEDs) with background stars. I also think most people don't look for lights that high up in the sky - Especially folks in dinghies and power boats. :) That led me to ask myself - Why not just mount a new light to the top of the bimini or some other more visible place? I have a stainless steel mount for an old exterior satellite radio antenna I no longer use, so I could easily mount and wire it, and in the process make it more likely that folks motoring around the anchorage would see my boat. Everything I see indicates this would be COLREG requirements. Thoughts? Bruce Whitmore (847) 404-5092 (mobile) [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
