[Rhodes22-list] Steaming light plug

[Ron Singerman]

Hey Rob,

It was great meeting you and your friend on your visit to Gulfport.  We're 
back in NH and Serenity is parked in the driveway.  I'm trying to accomplish 
all those boat tasks that I put off this winter because of the great sailing 
in the Gulf. I'm following Don Casey's instructions as I am rebedding all my 
chain plates and I finally got around to painting the shelves under the 
galley. It only took a year since I built the shelves.  I moved the 
transducer for the depth finder inside to the lazarette and epoxied it into 
place yesterday. Today's project is to install a main battery switch.

Serenity only has two wires into the base of the mast and two wires up the 
mast.  I guess I'm limited to only a steaming light.  With the cost of 
marine wires I'll put this project off for sometime in the future.  I would 
love to have an anchor light though. I'm having a problem justifying putting 
Serenity into the lake this year since the cost of a mooring is greater than 
my yearly fee for a slip in FL. Forget about the cost of a slip on Lake 
Sunapee or Winnipesauke I just might work on her and forget about NH sailing 
for this year. If you get back to FL in the Fall or Winter, get in touch and 
we'll go sailing.

Fair winds,

>>4 prongs means the plug is designed to support 3 separate circuits + 1
>> ground wire.  Logically they may be assigned as:
>>
>> 1) Steaming light
>> 2) Anchor light
>> 3) Spreader lights

>> I have steaming and spreader lights on my boat, but no anchor light on
>> the mast.  So I have 1 circuit left to install that in the future if I
