change the oil and engine zinc on my Yanmar 2GM tomorrow.
Tried to find some 600 ohm resistors at Radio Shack for my homemade
ultra-bright LED anchor light but no luck, will havta order em.


For those not inclined to make their own LED lights, here's a link to a
site with additional information about one particular brand:

The one disadvantage to these lights, so far, is their cost. The offset
could be that for
any lights (like a masthead light) that some boaters might currently be
paying somebody to replace the price of installing one LED light that
should last 50,000 hours (will never wear out in typical pleasure boat
service) will be less than sending a worker up the mast
a second or third time during the ownership of the vessel.

They are very bright, and far more bulletproof than a lightbulb.

Lopo also makes interior cabin lights.
