[Rhodes22-list] Masthead Light Blub

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

Jim,
My experience with the mast head light is that the bulb is usually good.  
The connector in question is the deck mounted fitting. Pry it loose after  
removing the screws and check the wires for corrosion. You might have to 
remove  some of the wire to get to good clean copper. You will need a very small  
screwdriver, like the one you can buy to repair glasses. I've seen these at 
 grocery store checkout lines. Keep track of which wire goes where. Clean  
everything up, reassemble and then I like to cover the entire area with 
liquid  electrical tape. This will prevent air and water from corroding it for a 
while.  If the light still doesn't work, check the male plug the same way. 
Nine times  out of ten the problem will be with the deck mounted, female 
plug.

Hi  Everyone
I have a 91 Rhodes with a IMF Mast - just noticed my Masthead  light is out.
Are the Masthead white light pretty much the same on all  Rhodes IMF Masts,
if so does anyone know what type of blub I need to  get.

I'm hoping it's just the blub that is out.

Thanks in  advance for any help.

Jim
