Thats what I thought...I could run a three wire and use a 3-way switch. That way there would be no chance of both being on at once.

This was a decision I had to make back in the spring when wiring my steaming/deck light as well. I only had one switch available to me (well in truth, only one wire run) and had to choose. Of course, I chose steaming because it's required and deck lights are not. As yet, I haven't missed the deck light. If you want to run them independently they will have to be independently wired. At minimum you'll need three wires.

I'm using a mega light mast head light up top and was planning to use one for a deck light. I have a SS fitting that attaches to the mast and allows installation of a light on top and on bottom. So, I have two questions in that regard;1. There is only a single two wire run to the light now. Which would lead me to believe that they are both wired to the same switch. This doesn't seem like a great idea. Seems if the deck light is on while you're underway at night, you'll have no�night vision and if you have your steaming light is on when at anchor it will appear that you're underway... Do I need to be running another wire to switch theseindependently? 2. Is the megalight a suitable choice for a deck light/anchor light? I also have another question about the whisker pole car. I have a track on the front of the mast but the car was corded in place and it seems someone tried to free it up and cracked it. I got the old one off and need to replace it. Any suggestions? It seems the best use for the track and car is to store the pole when not in use, and easy deployment when needed, is that correct? I have never actually used one before but, it seems a good tool to have and utilize. Thanks for any insights/advice,Danny _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
