Hi, I am looking to replace the old steaming light on my mast. I don't know if it is the original but what I have now is a basic clear dome similar in size to the running lights(link to image below). My plan is to replace the light with a Hella 8505 combination masthead/deck and run new Ancor 16/3 wire using the old wire as a messenger.
My questions: Has anyone removed the cast metal light base from the side of the mast before? How difficult is it to remove this metal base from the side of the mast? When I last replaced the bulb, I did not see mounting screws for the metal cast base. It looked pretty firmly attached on the mast. I am guessing that it is either glued, pressed in place, or possibly welded(I hope not). Here below is a link to am image of the type of light I presently have: http://thumbs3.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/maP16keZ5hiGpD8K79RfqmA.jpg Thanks for any insight. - Paul E. 1979 C&C 29 Mk1 S/V Johanna Rose Carrabelle, FL _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
