Harlan, do you mean that sometimes they come on and sometimes they
don't? Are you talking about bi-color bow lights, masthead tri-color,
steaming or anchor or what? if you are referring to ALL your nav
lights and if they are all doing the same thing, the problem is
probably somewhere closer to the panel. You will have to be more
specific about the nature of the problem.

Peter, sorry for the sloppy post.

Yes, the bi-color bow lights did not light up the other night. This is
at least the third time that has happened in the two years I have owned
my otherwise wonderful boat. On a previous time, stepping on the light
got it to turn on. Not last night.

Yes, the steaming light on the mast did not work all last year and most
of this year (although it did when checked by yard -- or at least they
said it did). Ironically, it worked the other night when it and the
stern lights were the only lights to work.

I have no anchor lite but I do have a panel switch for it.

I think the stern lights has worked each time.

So, I think safety and courtesy require me to find a permanent nav light
solution.

Is that clearer or am I still being sloppy?

TIA,

harlan
