IH82BL8, Your pic does not show a loss of zinc, but an application of gold Krylon paint! But if the stuffing box was soaked in sulfuric acid, I suppose the results would be similar :laugh:

:plus: On your install/operational report. Thanks.

But if you do replace the wiring, be sure to get "tinned" copper wire. The original is not tinned. Just a thought.

Please check the archives on this forum where replacing the pulley was discussed. I added this thought in my first response while you were typing! :facepalm:

Have you checked at Rig-Rite Inc. - Masts, Booms, Spars, Rigging, and Hardware for Sailboats. ? They seem to be the go-to source for rigging parts. I have seen a post on this forum where someone did the "pulley only" replacement, but I don't remember the source. It was in the last 6 months...

Have fun and enjoy!

I am not familiar with your model boat but I have seen the white spots on my hull in the past. They are the remains of barnacles which came off when you pressure washed the hull and took the underlying paint with them. I don't think they are the dreaded "boat pox". The problem is easily fixed...

That is water damage with a side of mold. In my experience repairing panel 3087 is possible. The "How" will require further study and responses from the group. Don't forget to search the archives on this site. Are panels 3088 and 3089 the underside of 3087?

There are soo may choices! You can start here for 110v lights in various lengths and configurations...

Don't know about bulbs. but I installed two new LED strings on my boat in the same place that you describe for about $30. I suspect 10 bulbs for a "marine" sourced fixture might cost as much.
