    My next project!!

    Mine are the far left. Red. The diffuse light from under them is not bad. The red is not terrible. But a dimmer would help. I drive for hours in the dark There is no way to dim the dependent lights because they use the 12v that is being sent to your devices

    My next project!!

    I was not suggesting fusing the Nav/Anc separately from the switch panel. That would cause complications with using it to light the other switches. New Wire refers to illumination lamps as "Independant", meaning they are powered independant of switch position. "Dependant "indicate ON and are...

    My next project!!

    A few days ago I bought a CHEAP set of 4 blue LED that LOOKED like replacements for the OEM Attwood cockpit lights. Screws smaller and holes not as far apart and the unit will not sit flush against the gelcoat. The gasket supplied was useless. I will have to make neoprene washers or...

    Water in gear case oil

    did you replace the fill gaskets every time? They get a ring when you tighten them and then if you use them again the ring is in a different place.

    Wiper mechanism

    Can't help you. When I bought mine there was just a shaft from the motor and some holes with silicone. I pulled the motor and tossed it. Filled the holes with epoxy. Never looked back.

    My next project!!

    As I said before , been decades since I re-pinned molex connectors. In my early life I have done it quite often. You really need the stripping and crimping tools..and eyes...and patience. As you say, they crimp the wire and they crimp the insulation. The stripping has to be exact. You cannot...

    I’m using the original Lee Jrs with 18ish foot aluminum poles. I added rollers I use 400#mono. I think if you go with longer aluminum poles you’re gonna need to put at least a single spreader kit on each. I don’t know how the carbon fiber ones stack up. I don’t have that much money ha ha We run...

    My next project!!

    Yep that bottom picture is grady tapping grounds off the larger black wires. The black wires on the switches have nothing to do with the circuits. They are only for the illumination of the switches. So the + wires of the circuits come from the switches and the grounds are "out there somewhere"...
