Default Boating on the 4th of July weekend. One thing after another.

Ah! chains done away with and cables installed. Wonder what to do
next?

OH yeah, the rear light. Well the receptacle is bad. it has two male
plugs from under neath in the mold formed plastic. well when I went to
test the light, I jammed the light pole down in. the receiver, and
the plugs just shoved right out the bottom.

CRAP!

I know I had it right, because unless a real brainiac gets it
backwards. it will only fit in one way, but has to have extreme force.

So i take the recepticle off the boat and what do you know? the bottom
plug was broken and evidently the precious owner had JB Welded it
together. Even though I commended him on his work, it didn't hold.

Now I DO have a new Atwood light pole and receptacle, but the mounting
holes obviously won't lign up thus I'd have to redrill new holes.

UGH!

So, looks like now that about everybody is closed, with exception of
Walmart, I 'm going to get one of those rinky-dink flashlight battery
operated poles. cheap and no finesse. but it will do.

It seems that the closer I am to going this year, the more behind I
get...

arrrgh!
