I found similar conditions (smell and blackened cracks) about step when we
rebuilt the front end of the sump and step years ago. We found no balsa ,
just the rigid foam. The smell of the wet foam could knock you over

Better check what the manufacturer states. If it's got a medium base,
convention dictates that the screw part is negative and the button is positive.
I sure don't like using AC fixtures for DC circuits or appliances

I am converting a 120 V fixture to a 12V LED light. The new bulb screws in
just like a 60 W bulb. Is the center connection in the fixture the positive

Chris: all manufacturers are minimising the chances that you, and they, may
have a problem. I have mounted many units immediately adjacent to compasses
with no apparent effect. However, I have always done a trial fit first to make
sure. Be very careful of power leads near compasses. They can of
Alan,
My void was filled with epoxy during the keel R&R. They used a lot! Several
gallons. I will be poking around again this spring to see if I can locate the
source. The drain hole from the forward cabin that runs back to the bilge is
highly suspect.

Chris,
Good to hear from you!
My E7 is about a foot from my compass in a the usual place - the pod
attached to the binnacle guard. Once I switched the E7 to magnetic the
readings were identical.

Chris,
The manufacturers installation recommendations should be followed. I must
have missed that caution, because I mounted mine on a swivel bracket right
above the compass. It seems to have no effect on the compass readings,

Hi Mike,
I just bought a '75 30MK1 with a sagging mast step. After pulling the mast
and taking out the old mast step, I found a deep hole that could never drain
back to the bilge pump. It was full of a foul smelling black goo that had
probably been there for 37 years stinkin' up the joint. Afte
When I had my keel dropped, to repair the smile, we discovered a large void

It depends on the fixture -- many newer LED fixtures use LED drivers that are
polarity-independent, and also somewhat voltage-independent. So if your
alternator is putting out 14.4 volts, you won't fry your 12-volt LED fixture.
If you're retrofitting raw LEDs into an existing fixture, then yes,
Hi Fred

I second Martin's comment - rotten balsa core smell is awful and probably
