Mid mast light

Post by IanM »

The light half way up my mast is not working. Does anyone know what part I should replace it with? Trying to avoid two trips in the bosuns chair.
Thank you very much

Depending on your build date this is likely the model of your steaming light.

Removing it in a bosuns chair/harness is possible, though it falls apart easily, so be sure to hold on tight as I lost a screw on the first try.

After the screw made the splash, I found that cleaning contacts and replacing the bulb was not enough and that I have some other issue with the circuit. Hope yours is easier to solve.

On the plus side this is the exact same model that needed replacing with the only slight difference being the screw size for the base plate attachment to the mast: the new model is smaller so the holes in the plate need to be drilled out a bit.

On the minus side, like you, this does not seem to be the issue as neither the new nor the old lights are working…
