I believe someone already answered your question.

 

The light needs to have at least two connections (power and ground) if both
bulbs are on a single switch.

3 connections is more likely. lets you have independent switch for steaming
and foredeck, plus a common/ground. That's probably what you are looking at
in the picture - 3 wire in a single insulated cover.

I suppose you could have 4 wires, with 2 independent grounds, but why
bother?

So back to the beginning, the fixture I saw at the Binnacle looks very much
the same as the existing one......I like this as I would not have to drill
new holes to attach but if I have to, so be it.

The new fixture only has one wire to attach whereas mine appears to have
three (not exactly sure as I have not yet removed it from the mast although
there are three existing the base of the mast) and I have no idea how to
connect it.

There must be a logical way to connect it?

Rob
