Thanks guys. As you can probably tell I'm trying to electrify my boat. Keith, the rules were a good place to start. I didn't realize they allow an all around white light to cover what usually is done with a stern light and masthead light. On the issue of the tri-color masthead light being to high, it seems that being so far above deck it probably sways considerably. And just the thought that a fisherman racing from one spot to another who thinks I'm farther away then I am is a nightmare. But, then again, not having the light on the sails or otherwise in your eyes is a benefit. Compromise. I like the idea of not wiring the mast, but part of the plan is to have a stationary VHF, so I guess I have to go up the mast with an antenna cable anyway. If I mounted the light on or in the hull or on the pulpit I could use a handheld VHF. Maybe something like red and green on the hull, steaming light on the pulpit and stern light on transom would work. Thanks again guys, I've changed my mind a few times already, so y'all must be having an affect on me. With this help I think I'll have a good solution. Rick Langer
