Mike,
First check the bulb for the streaming light. If it's fine then the next  
area to check is the deck fitting. It has a history of corroding the wires  
inside the connector. You will need a very fine (eyeglass type) screwdriver 
to  loosen the connectors and remove the wires. You will probably find that 
they are  green with corrosion. Clean with a wire brush and reinsert. I have 
found that  using a liquid electrical tape over the connector will make it 
last  longer.
 
Rummy

Doyle must've paid overnight for the batten shipping.  It  got here 
yesterday. 
Rigged the new genoa this morning so s/v Muireann is  almost ready to go. 
Still need to troubleshoot the forward white light on  the masthead, it
didn't light up.  Also, need to "un-winterize" the  water system, check the
batteries, fill the fuel tank ...  But we're  getting there.  May splash
tomorrow or mid-week.  Then we're off  the the Chesapeake next Friday with
any luck for a few days cruising near  Annapolis.
