Pat,



In addition, I suggest to change VHF antenna which normally works but the signal is reduced with years with corrosion and bad connection.

This antenna is not expensive and it is a security element.

Pat,

The local B&G representative(Jacques of Diginav) recommends that the wind vane
and anemometer sending units be lubricated once a year. He says any housold oil
is good and the lubrication is esssential to the long life of this expensive
equipment.

When i tepped down my masts, 3 years ago, on the main mast, i changed, the mast
head tricolor light and anchor light with a Led system approved for up to 20
meter yacht, i changed the TV antenna, lubricated all rolling gear including the
top of the main mast furler with Superlube, checked the VHF antenna connection
and reprotected it.

If the weather allows, I will finish painting my mast and step it next week.A
question: While the mast is on the ground ,is there any service that I should do
to the masthead? Thanks, Pat SM 123
