OK, a first is about to happen in my life as a "new" owner of an older boat. Need to step the mast, have o'day manual on that so hopefully can do it. But any good tips will be appreciated. Have to add an anchor light, all new running rigging, a flag halyard. My questions involves the anchor light- any "good ideas" on how to properly run the wire and get it connected to the electrical panel. I tried connecting another light to it last fall but doesn't work????? Is their something special about the wirirng I need to know- Maybe a good book.

Stepping the mast

I have posted the instructions for stepping the mast of an O'Day 25. I have used it twice this winter and works well. It is in the manuals section of this web page. Good luck! EJ Tews Jennifer Lea

mast

This mast is not bad with 2 or 3 people just walking it up, but for my 26 I have a shaped wooden crutch 6 feet long which has a perpendicular bottom leg spanning the two stern pulpit uprights, then lashed to top rail for stability. For anchor light, cable should exit mast 2-4 inches above base and plug into a thru-deck fitting. If you have a manual on 26, I would love to get a copy (happy to pay $10 for copying) keithbrena@msn.com Brad Jones, Walton, Kentucky
