Wal, if you are gone any amount of time when they fail you have lost the
boat anyway - any half decently sized bilge pump will kill the battery.
Let's assume a Whale 1000 gallon / hr pump, this will pull 4 amps. The

Interesting comments. I sailed a 34+ for many years in a lot of conditions and
never saw any sustained plaining on any point of sail. Even my 121 will run a
bit on a broad reach but again not what you would think of as a plaining hull.

You are very lucky. You probably want a bilge pump if your boat has an inboard

I agree with Bill Bina and Andy on thisa tricolor can be used as a
substitute for deck running lights when under sail but not both at the
same time.
The advantage of the tricolor comes with coastal and/or offshore sailing:

Bob, a tricolor is indeed a substitute for deck level running lights. But it
may only be used while sailing. And it should never be used in addition to deck
level lights.

It is completely illegal to use both at the same time. Each nav light
displayed has a specific meaning, especially in relation to other lights
being displayed. You are not permitted to vary the configuration.

Worst one I ever dealt with was a SeaRay 55 whose owner had decided to spare no
expense in autopilots. His huge autopilot would typically grace the bridge of a
