[Public-List] Port and starboard navigation lights.

[David Gilbert]

I once installed a hi intensity masthead trilight but I found it was  
of little use in close work i.e. harbours. As I no longer do any long  
distance open water sailing I went back to the deck mounted ones that  
you describe but I rewired them as the old wiring was badly corroded.  
They are fine now.
