Caesar,
I and many other have had to trouble shoot the steaming light. The obvious  
is to check that you have power at the bulb. My experience has been that the  
connections in the deck top fitting corrode easily. They are quite small and  
somewhat tricky to work with, but a small jewelers or eyeglass screwdriver will 
 help tremendously. Clean the connectors and if possible strip new copper 
wire  and insert in connectors. Tighten and then use a product called liquid  
electrical tape. It will seal the connectors and prevent any further corrosion.

Hi  Jerry,
I paid a visit to bebi electronics, and look at some of their  lights.  The 
owl anchor light appeals to me.

I need  to solve a problem with my steaming light; the other navigation 
lights are  working.  After trouble shooting the problem with the steaming light on 
 the top end of the mast, I'll complete my shopping list.  I do like the  
idea of a permanent anchor light at the top of the mast, and will talk to you  
some more about how to set up the double switch for both the steaming  and 
anchor  light.

Thanks,
Caesar

Caesar,

Davis makes a mega-light that has 15 feet  of cord that plugs into a 12v.
outlet. I hang it from the aft end of the  boom.It's also a handy little
trouble light to look in the laz. or other  unlit areas.I also have a
mast mounted LED anchor light ,but also use the  mega lite because I'm on
a small lake and most people out at night are  fishing and their
attention is more towards the water than it is 30' in the  air.
Bebi electronics(google them) has a couple of neat units that have  one
tenth of the amp draw of a regular bulb. If you are planning to mount  a
permenant anchor light I would highly recommend a LED one.Besides  low
current draw,LEDs are light emitting diodes,and diodes only allow  current
to pass one way. Which means you can wire the anchor light and  the
steaming light to one pair of wires and control it with a double  pole
,double throw switch to reverse the polarity,and light both lights,one  at
a time .If this intrests you,I'll be happy to tell you more.I'll try  to
post a picture of a light I made out of one of Bebi's LED  lights.
