A thread in the 250 forum got me thinking about this. I hate to find out that a bulb is out once the mast is raised. So, I bought an extra deck connector and rigged it up with about 15 feet of four conductor wire. Now I can plug this extension cord between the real deck connector and the mast wiring connector and test the lights before raising the mast. It is also a helpful tool when debugging or making wiring changes to the mast lights.


We cannot direct the winds but we can adjust our sails.
