When I bought my CP22 last year, it was not equipped with any mast lighting (no masthead light, no bow light, etc.). I am installing a light so that I will be legal motoring in from the race course on Tuesday nights.
My boat also does not have a masthead VHF antenna, but it was wired for one - a coax antenna connector exits thru a deck plate, and the coax is run down thru the port-side compression post, and back to the companionway area running below the settee.
The electrical panel has a labeled for both an anchor/bow light, but it is not clear to me if there are wires stashed somewhere: No evidence of wires coming from below to connect to. D
Does anyone know if there are factory wires run for a mast light? If so, do you know where they might be stashed away?
If you have come up with a "home-grown" solution, what did you do?
