Finished my mast wiring, piece of cake!! What I did was took of the thru bolts at the spreaders. This allowed the foam rubber that was taped to the wire clear access. I highly recommend this rather than yanking the foam through.

I do have one question for the electrical guru's. On my new halogen steaming light there is only one wire to attach. I assume its the positive since it is white. DO I attach the ground to the light somehow?

Thanks

Yes the steaming light and halogen only has one wire, then there is a jumper between the halogen and steaming light. I will take another look at this maybe in my haste there is a grounding point.

That makes three wires all together, one hot lead for the steaming light, one hot lead for the deck light, and the common ground that is shared by both lights in the fixture.

Frank is correct, there is a pigtail coming off the deck light to the steaming light. Just remember to run that all the way up the mast too so the anchor light has a ground.

I installed the combination steaming and halogen light from Victory Navigation. I've answered my original question concerning one wire. I see that if you open the case there are connections to turn the lights on separately.

I should have looked before I asked the question, guess I'm spoiled with all the great input I receive on the site.

You can say that again!!!

Just owning and maintaining a boat tends to force one to learn more about it. But the C25 specific knowledge provided by others through membership to this Association has been tremendous for me.
