[Rhodes22-list] Masthead Light

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

Start with checking the bulb, but my money is on the connections, both deck 
 mounted and the plug end which comes out of the mast. I have found that 
the  copper wires corrode (fresh water) and caused the problem for me. You 
will need  a very small (eye glasses small) screw driver to loosen the screws 
on both the  plug and the deck mount. After cutting off enough wire to get to 
clean copper I  reinstalled everything and used a dielectric grease to coat 
all the connections  to prevent further corrosion. I haven't had any 
trouble since I did the repair  17 years ago.

The  light that is up on the mast on my Rhodes has not worked since I bought
the  boat.  All other of my lights function just fine. I have IMF. How  does
the wiring go up the mast to the light?  If the light is just  burned out or
broken, I can replace that. If the wires need replacing, I  was curious how
the wires are run up the mast and where do they connect to  the power system
of the boat?

Thanks!
