Mike,
I think that the steaming light is not required on boats of our size (under 12M). http://www.uscgboating.org/SAFETY/fedreqs/equ_nav.htm From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike Sent: Sunday, May 24, 2009 7:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [IC27A] Re: Mast Light Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but USCG requirements are the 360 degree anchor light at the top and the 270 degree steaming light by the spreaders. Somebody gave me a wonderful upgrade in the past: there's a small spot built into the bottom of my steaming light, wired seperately. When I turn it on the entire bow lights up, DRASTICALLY improving night anchoring. As you can imagine, it really helps any time I have have to go forward after dark!

So I'm re-wiring. Question: I only have one light on the mast, it's the original steaming light or what ever on the forward side about halfway up, what is the most common upgrade? All,around white light at the mast top? Tri-color? > > Mark > Solution 4289 >
