did u change the bulb or whole light. please list what u changed out to, i hope to have my 44 next month and will change it all over to led. It is a great improvement, i have done it on my current boat.
I changed out the whole light assembly with bulb. Went back with incandescent because I couldn’t justify the cost of led lamp assembly’s. I think led lamps were about $160 per side. The incandescent a we’re about $35 per side. If I can find suitable led bulbs I’d replace them and for the rear white also if I find a suitable led bulb I’d like to replace the old bulb.
Not totally clear on your installation, but I believe you mentioned your compressor is under the master berth. Is there room for a pressure tank in the same location? Seems like a better spot than in the anchor locker.
Do you need the entire mast and base, or is it just the light fixture that is done?
The current set up is a simple Wolo 808C compressor connected to the air line going to horns. I believe the switch on the helm switch panel probably trips a relay to provide power to compressor as long as you hold the horn switch which is a momentary type. The compressor is installed against the forward bulkhead just in front of the forward ac under the mattress of master stateroom.
I’d like to replace at least the base as it’s getting a bit corroded and does not seem to tighten up as it should and the mast can be moved sideways without much effort. But if I was to find the whole thing that’s be great too as mast has a little corrosion too.
Ah, ok. I replaced just the light fixture part of it. Had to buy an entire Attwood assembly and take it apart to use just the light head.
Great timing on your post. I am in the midst of replacing an old C 120 Ray Marine as well as say older garmin 5212with new Garmin equipment.
I cut this access hole in mine today and removed around 25 gallons of water and then about an hour later took out another 5 gallons. My question for you is did you have a slight diesel fuel Oder in this access hole? I also notice it in the bilge under the stairs in kitchen.
I had water getting into the center bilge area under the stairs and would occasionally trip the bilge pump in there along with the high water alarm. Further investigation revealed that that washing machine inlet valve fir hot water was fracture and leaking water from freshwater system. I cut the water off to washing machine and got new valves a few days later. Also while waiting on new valves I dried the center bilge and it has stayed dry so I knew in my case it was the broken valve causing water in there.
What location did you all cut this hole at?
