Anchor, steaming, foredeck spotlite, two leads.
I found a remote control switch for two leads.
That means, my anchor lite is hardwired from the panel switch.
And my steaming lite wires into this remote two lead switch that fits inside my mast. The antenna comes out through a hole in the mast. It has two key chain remotes that work from 40 feet away and they float.Yeehaa!!!
Hope this helps with the old delema of a new deck plug connector and running new wire to the mast, No rewiring. Just pull up in the dinghy and turn on the lites by remote. This link is to the switch at west marine. It was kinda hard to find. Hope this helps.
