Its only about ¼ thick, but it does have Smoke White gelcoat on one side. When I redid the outside of the transom, I relocated the stern light using a new fixture and an LED bulb purchased from Dr. LED. I put a layer of glass on the inside of the old hole and filled and faired with thickened epoxy. Might that not be easier than scarfing in a section of glass? I already replaced the bulbs in my teardrop nav lights with red and green LEDs made for that purpose. I forget what those are a type 60 or type 90 bulb but they were not commonly available. My current usage is pretty low, but last weekend I noticed that the chrome on the old teardrops is starting to turn to rust stains after 37 years. My first question, when I thought about replacing the fixtures, was the availability of a light that was the same size and shape. Thanks for doing the research for me. Rick Brass Washington, NC From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Frederick G Street Sent: Monday, April 29, 2013 3:39 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List fiberglass board scrap Hey -- does anyone on the list have a small (5" x 5") scrap of 3/8" thick fiberglass board left over from projects that they'd be willing to send/sell to me? I'm replacing the stern light with an LED fixture, and the cutout for the old one is huge; I'd like to patch it before I install the new light; also the new screws have nothing to bite into. I can order a 12" x 12" piece from McMaster-Carr, but if there are scraps available, I'd rather go that route. BTW, this past weekend I replaced the old below-deck "teardrop" bow lights with new LED fittings from SeaDog (part number 400080-1) <http://www.bargainboatparts.com/p-105277-sea-dog-line-led-flush-mount-side- light.aspx> -- a direct replacement for size with the old ones, and they're super-bright, as well as USCG-approved. Now I just need to get the stern light replaced and I'm good to go with nav lights.
