I learned that an incandescent bulb's lifetime decreases drastically when the voltage is +/- 10%, or more of the rated voltage. I had a similar issue with our stern light. In checking the voltage, I

Hi Andrew, Thanks for the reassurance. I'll order replacements. Mike

Hi, Have spoken with Boatlamps and they claim the bulb will be a one for one replacement and if it doesn't fit a refund will be given. Cost £47.00 including shipping to

Hi Mike It is a direct replacement so fits in without changing the housing. Andrew

Ian, We have replaced with LED - not difficult I think. Peter Peter Forbes ppsforbes@... Carango Sailing Ketch Amel 54 #035 Gouvia Marina - CORFU, Greece

Hi Andrew, Did the replacement bulb fit into the existing housing or did you replace the housing as well? Mike From: "Andrew Lamb andrew.lamb@... [amelyachtowners]" To:

HI I recently changed my mizzen sealed beam lamp with an LED lamp that is a good fit – this was fromwww.boatlamps.co.uk http://www.boatlamps.co.uk/contents/en-uk/d173.html Was not cheap

Hi Ian & Judy, We have the same problem on aircraft. A Boeing engineer explained to me that the high failure rate was related to the 'thermal shock' to the element of turning the light on/off. The

Hi everyone, As with most SM's ( and maybe 54s ?) I have spotlights on my main and mizzen masts. The bulbs are both Sealed Beam, GE 4505 28v 50w. I rarely use these lights. In 14 years I have not

Hi to All , my Link 2000 R was damaged from a lightning that struck not sufficiently far from Sunny Side . This is the second time I lost it for the same reason. The first time Tekris Power (NJ) fixed

Pat, I agree. Paint under the zinc will do nothing. Connection from the zinc to the bonding system is with the bolt to the zinc and the bolt to the threaded piece in the rudder. Even if you paint

I would agree with that - what we did on the last haul out was to test with a multimeter with long leads that there was good connectivity between the anodes on the rudder and the propellor, when all

Why would it hurt to paint under the rudder zinc, the rudder is fiberglass , and the conductivity is through the bolt to the metal inside of the rudder? Pat

Sometimes the zinc is installed over painted bottom which would also block conductance between the zinc and the rudder. On my SM I have sanded the paint off prior to installing the zinc. John

This almost looks custom made. Would an Aladdin Cleat or Shroud Cleat work just as well? Best regards, Mark SM2K #275 www.creampuff.us

Thanks Enio, I would have thought just to drill a hole, tap it and bolt the zinc on...it only needs an electrical connection, the steel doesn't need to be bare except in the hole where the bolt is
