Hello,
I unstepped the mast this summer and have been doing some upgrading and replacement. All that is left is replacement of the steaming light….The old halogen plug in connector disenigrated when I removed it from the old housing…..and the wire colors don’t match the wiring diagram colors…so I am concerned about reverse polarity or wiring it in correctly ..because I am totally inept when it comes to wiring anything. Wiring connector for the mast in the bilge… is old style plug.
I have three wires that come out the mast. A black..which had a sticker on it that said grd…and a red and white one. The el cheapo #25 mast head light replacement..only has 2 wires…. Would prefer an upgraded steaming light vs the el cheapo…so any advice would be welcomed. Boat is in Port Clinton Ohio area. Thanks in advance for any direction.
