[Public-list] Navigation Lights and fuzes

[Meinhold, Michael J]

Mike -
  Thanks - I did question the wisdom of this light placement, but I didn't
see any holes. I'll leave them where they are!

 Several of you reccomended Mamock Automotive Electronics for my starter
rebuild. They turned it around in a day and did a great job at a good price,
and I second the reccomendation for anyone in the Annapolis area who needs
an alternator or starter rebuilt.  This saved me from replacing the starter,
flywheel and flywheel cover! 

 When I bought the boat, the surveyor (Gail Browning of Hartoft) insisted on
a fuze on each positive battery cable, as close as possible to the battery.
I put in two 200A fuzes. When the starter disintegrated, it shorted the
battery and blew that fuze, but the engine kept on running. I didn't know it
until the paint on the starter was smoking. Without the fuze, the battery
cable might have burned and things would be _a lot_ worse.  The same would
be true for a destroyed alternator.

These were the original nav lights but were deemed illegal because the sails

would block the lights. I put a red/green Aqua Signal light on the bow 
pulpit to replace these lights to make the boat legal. Instead of leaving 
holes or trying to patch the holes which is difficult to get a gel coat 
match on a 30 year old boat, I left the orignal fixtures in place to keep 
the holes covered.

On Rinn Duin (#272) there are port and starboard light holders mounted on
the sides of the deckhouse forward, but there are no holes drilled throught
the deckhouse and no wires to them. They look like original equipment, but
why whould Whitby have mounted the holders and not put in the lights? Do
other boats have the same set-up?
