I have had the Forespar for years. It is mounted high enough to avoid spray.
No problems.

Dennis,
Thanks for the info. Another question: Are you happy
with the Aquasignal? I was deciding between the Forespar ML-2, Hella 8505,
and the AquaSignal Series 25. I decided on the Hella based on some bad
reviews I found online for the other two. The Forespar had reports of top
lens falling out while tacking and the AquaSignal was stated as not having any
spray protection for the deck light bulb and so bulbs corroded and died
prematurely.

Paul,
If it is like the one on Touche's mast, I abandoned it.? It was that same Perko
all around light mounted on a metal "donut" welded to the mast.? I installed an
Aquasignal Series 25 combo steaming/foredeck light a bit above the old fixture
and dropped new wires.?
I'm guessing the Aquasignal would fit over and hide the existing donut once you
remove the Perko light if you wanted to mount it in the same spot.? You could
use the existing wires to pull the new wires.
On a side note, Touche's pole topping lift exited another of those "donut"
things above the steaming light.? I have also abandoned that and installed an
exit box with sheave for the topping lift.
