Anyone know the regs on using Masthead Tri-Color lights. Just want to do
what's right on my boat this summer on Chesapeake Bay. I believe you can use
either but never both deck lights and the masthead tri-color. Also thought I

Chuck you are correct that you can use one or the other but not both. I

I like having the strobe as a way of differentiating my boat. It's for
emergency use only. I like having it in case I'm not being seen by another
vessel, I can flip it on until they get a bearing on me and then turn it off.
Or if I call for assistance, it can visually mark my boat as
So what's the penalty for someone who does use both, (not me, of course, but I
have seen it done)...???

Nothing until you get hit and your minesweeper towing a fishing boat while

It does really annoy some people to see odd lights that make no sense. OTOH the

in addition to the white all around on the masthead. I use one of these

Gene,
Try applying multiple beads of Captain Tolley's Creeping Crack Cure to the
toe rail/deck joint and to any fasteners you suspect before tackling
rebedding the toe rail. I find that stops most leaks.

I am in the process of replacing my lifelines and am looking to buy a
crimper to crimp the Hayn studs and gate rings, etc. Can anyone recommend
a reasonably priced crimper? I've seen crimpers from $69 to $477 and can't
tell the difference.

Gary,
I bought a used Johnson Lifeline No 15 lever crimper on eBay for under $100
a few years back. Has worked well for me. None out there now but one sold
a couple months ago for $118.
IMHO, the lever crimpers are much better than the ones you have to turn
with a wrench. For one thing, the sm
I had good luck testing the following:
I did the Creeping Crack Cure and then painted a strip of FlexSeal on top of
that. I estimate the leakage in the area I tried this on is about 99% reduced.
Don’t skip the Crack Cure, it gets in crevices nothing else does.

I used Tri Power hydraulics in Warwick for swedging. Don't know if they still
do it.

Here are the instructions for using the Johnson Lever crimper.

Note that they are only designed for hand crimp fittings and are not to be
used on terminations that were designed for machine swaging. Do Hayn fittings
meet that criteria?
Me too. I use a spin halyard and haul it higher with a light downhaul I keep
rigged and let it light the coachroof and deck.

Hi Dennis and List Folks,
That's a good recommendation, I've used the Captain Tolley's on several
other leaky places on the boat with success, and this would be a decent way
to mitigate it for a few more years.
Curious if anyone else has rebedded their toerails and what was involved?
Thanks,
Ge
