Am doing this as well. New wiring, new halyards. Picked up some Belden RG213 - good stuff - for VHF.
The 33-2 has plastic raceway inside the mast for cable routing, and space is a bit limited. am thinking I'll wire for masthead and steaming/foredeck lights and leave out the spreader light wiring.(I had posted a question awhile back and was not surprised to learn that few use these) Looking at automation type cabling for the lights - compact, flexible. (talking to Lapp - olfex for those in the biz) but may just pull unjacketed conductors. chafe will not be a concern in the raceway. can use a larger conductor this way in the same space. on the lights themselves - Have researched products available and marinebeam looks like the best current option for the masthead and steaming lights. It appears that the product must be bought at full price, online. Anyone know otherwise? Anything else I should consider? (Someone here posted awhile back mentioning a windex light, which I could have used a few times last season.) Debating whether to in install or provide for a N2k wind instrument while I am at it. Thoughts?

I am not sure if you know, but Marinebeam came up with an interesting LED bulb (and enclosure, if you want to) for the top of the mast. It is a combination bulb that is all around white (for anchor light) or a tri-colour, segment light (white/green/red). It is operated with one switch (first on, it is anchor light, second on, it is a tri-colour, etc.). It works the same way as the combination bulbs that you can have for the cabin lights that turn on white or red. If you are sailing off-shore, it might be interesting. I don’t have a link to a source where you could buy it, but here is a small write-up about it: http://rarerarebird.blogspot.ca/2016/11/led-navanchor- replacement-bulb.html Marek ------------------------------ *From: *"Joel Aronson via CnC-List" mailto:[email protected] *To: *"cnc-list" mailto:[email protected] *Cc: *"Joel Aronson" mailto:[email protected] *Sent: *Thursday, December 8, 2016 9:35:03 AM *Subject: *Re: Stus-List Looking for Tips on ROD Re-Rigging Process heavy plastic and zip ties daisy chained together.
