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?

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
