Lights are one of those glorious inventions that don't care which way you  
hook up the wires.

Hey  everybody (and the rest):

After a disaster with the  mast lowering on my boat in July (of course, not 
my fault) {(That's what we  all would say)} I am vexed with the prospect of 
rewiring the connection for my  mast light.  Resetting the mast step was 
gravy.  But, in the attempt  to rewire the mast-head light, I cannot tell 
which lead is hot and which is  ground.  In the fitting, there is a long and a 
short lead.  Which  one is hot and which one ground?

Once I have the  battery back in, I can do a process of elimination and 
figure it out easily  enough.  However, If someone could clue me in, it would 
make the task a  "one and done" event.  My boat is an '87. Any clues?  Muchas 
gracias  mis amigos y amigas.  Happy winterizing to all.  Thanks.
