contacts.

We made the mistake of
replacing one of the Halogen bi-pin bulbs with a20-watt bulb.
It burnt up the plastic of
the adjustable fixture in the boat and could have started a fire because of the
extra heat it generated..
There is a warning that you
can't read on those fixtures until you take it down, that the maximum wattage
is 10 watts.
DO NOT try to put anything
bigger than a 10 watt G4 12Volt Bi Pin into those fixtures.
The bulb is a JC Type Bi-Pin
G4 12V

I got some great mast
maintenance tips from Fred Jackson a while back. I am about to restep my mast and I wondered if anyone would advise
replacing the VHF antenna and running a new coaxial wire up the mast. Mine
would be about 10 years old. Not sure if they wear out or any advances have
been made since it was originally installed. I was also curious about the
foredeck light on the mast. I know this has been a topic before. Mine does not
appear to have any cover just a bare bulb inside an oxidized silver sphere.
Should it have a cover, it seems kind of exposed.

Darrell,
The deck light fixture does
not come with a lens. One thing to remember
about that light is that the halogen bulb should not be touched with bare
hands. Wear a glove or use a cloth. That's not to protect your hands. It's to protect the bulb from contact with
some natural skin oils (or something- I'm not really sure what) that the bulb
doesn't like. But while the mast is
down, you should consider replacing the bulb, or at least cleaning the contacts
on both the bulb and the fixture. The
bulb is: Perko
Cat. No. 68-12V-20W.
