[Rhodes22-list] UPS Sail Again

[Mark Kaynor]

Gil, Fred,

I was initially going to keep the steaming light and add the LED anchor
light on another switch. I found a four-conductor cabin top connector in the
West Marine catalog that's the same shape and size as Raven's current
two-conductor connector. Unfortunately, the wire I ordered with it was way
too big for the strain relief fitting on the connector, so I just decided
the heck with it. There aren't many chandleries up here in the mountains
<g>.

	Hi Fred,
	How did you connect the two lights to the cabin top?  I just have
two male plugs (steaming and anchor) and one female plug, but has to be a
better way.  Just would like to avoid another plug in the cabin top....
	Thanks,
	gil

I also added a Davis mast head light this winter but I kept the steaming
light.
I mounted my UPS halyard restrainer supplied by Doyle 6.5 inches below the
mast top.  The steaming light begins at 10.5 inches from the mast top.
After using the UPS last season here doesn't appear to be any chaff on the
halyard.  The halyard doesn't seem to rub against the light at all.  Now to
get my new mast head vhf antenna connected.
