    Spring projects...

    They are from Innovative Lighting, but they are currently out of stock at Wholesale Marine (here's a link to the product page). And, yes, they have a good field of view -- whatever it takes to be USCG certified as bow mounted red/green nav lights. As long as they are properly mounted...

    Spring projects...

    First project of the season was new LED nav lights. Bulb holders in old ones were shot and even with fresh bulbs they were hit/miss. Hopefully these fully sealed LED units will last a long time. Other projects still on the to do list: Install new Garmin Echomap 94sv and GT54 transducer...

    Binoculars

    Rebuild 1988 Grady White Offshore Pulpit

    Gutsy project for a newbie! The wood looks quite good and I don't see a need to replace it. For the few areas with some obvious water intrusion and dry rot (the very dark areas) I would drill out the bad material and then fill with an epoxy paste (I like West System epoxy with their Micro...

    Dennis, I think you have a browser add-on installed that is modifying posts with ad links. I don't see any questionable links on Jilly's or other's posts that you have said had questionable links in them. -- JB
