The Admiral and I researched long and hard for a light to illuminate the
cockpit for meals, etc. We settled on a UST 10 Day Lantern by Ultimate
Survival Technology. Sells for under $30 on Amazon.

Hi List,
My boat came with this nicely installed Xantrex Pro-sine 2.0
inverter/charger. The thing worked great but is now producing a memory
error message on the remote display, and won't invert or charge any more.
Xantrex no longer provides parts for it.
Does anyone out there have one that

useless until I installed the rudder angle sensor that was supplied with it

I was racing that night (our annual night race). It was spectacular, but not by
nature. They were testing a rocket out of Wallops Island and it went into the
clouds and was set up to drop some kind of heated elements into the cloud and

I have been real happy at times hanging one of these lights in the cockpits.
They have a built-in hanger which can be used all over the boat. I store them
hanging on the inside hand rail. They are cheap and often free (with coupon).
Controlled testing has proven that flares gradually lose ignition/launch
reliability, and burn time as they age. Old flares may not fly as high,
burn as bright, or have other deficits. It is not an arbitrary
punishment intended to make flare manufacturers wealthy. I'm pretty sure

I had an old 25 MM flare explode in the gun instead of launch.
Also note SOLAS flares are on a whole different planet in terms of brightness,

is because you need to fulfill the letter of USCG regs and never ever intend

This has got me thinking about portable lanterns that I used to use as a kid
when camping. They ran off propane and gave off a nice soft light. Looks like
Coleman make something similar. The advantage would be that I can use my grill

Hi Marek,
I too like the idea of having the approved light
and day marker as qualifiers to the regulation
and keeping a stock of flares aboard. My recent
kit of flares were manufactured in July, four
years ago. That means an extra $120 spent to go
sailing that I could have used to buy beer.
Don’t forget about the Davis LED lights with long cords that plug into 12-volt
receptacles.

I use one for an anchor light (I’m suspicious that many people don’t see the
ones at the top of masts) hanging above the boom that

The purpose of spreader lights is to light up the deck at night, as when
doing things like reefing the main. I also use mine to light up the deck
when at the dock and taking aboard passengers or loading/unloading gear. My
spreader lights are Forespar lights that attach to the mast instead of

I installed a tricolor at the masthead on Imzadi a few years ago. And put an

When I bought the bulb I had a longish conversation with Marine
I have one of those as well. Use it as a low anchor light for drunken
rednecks on party barges.
Don't like it for cockpit illumination. Prefer the UST 10 day mentioned in
my last post.

Hi Dwight,
I had a different experience. I mounted my St4000 plus Mk II in 2003 out of the
box and never adjusted anything, no rudder sensor. It worked fine for 12 years,
many times it steered over 12 hours when motoring on cruises. Following seas
under full sail presented a challenge, but we
I have the Davis light hanging under the dodger for my porch light. It's
not the led style though. Sure helps finding the key hole late at night.

David,
The shaft of the 34/36 is on centerline.
Propwash causes the problem you are experiencing. This is normal. BTW, propwash
is caused by the shaft's downward angle. Saildrives and horizontal shafts have
zero propwash. On our boat, the pull is half a spoke at full speed, but it
doesn't
Rick,
I hope (and wish you) that you will sell the (unused) SOLAS flares with you
last boat you ever own. That would be a really good investment.

Pull to port under power is normal given fin keel (reduced lateral stability
from a full keel), prop offset to port and clockwise prop spin. Not a big
issue. I just steer accordingly or set the wheel brake with a bit of
tension and the wheel a few degrees to starboard

I like the idea of being able to select red or white. right now I just hang a
battery-powered camping lantern from the underside of the bimini but I’m
thinking of something that’s permanently mounted.
