This was the first thing I fixed on my F36 and one the first issues on my F30 . The fix was easy on my F36 I put it on the had top . I did The same on the F30 after the top was installed . I would remount it up above the top if you can

Yes, its fine unless you use it!

Not to mention it is VERY UGLY on the front of the fly bridge.

My boat also had the Radar dome on the front of the flybridge so it was ugly and radiated you when turned on and driving at the upper helm (another brilliant idea).

Since my F32 is less than 12 meters, I plan to use an all-around light on the radar arch I will finish this winter ... the Radar will go up there as well.

what your asking or what your light is doing . But the proper operation of the lamp is . Only the Front lamp comes on with the running lamps . When in the anchor lights are turn on both lamps should be on with no other nav lamps on .

every thing works fine with nav switch, only the front light comes on when the anchor light is on

So only the front comes one with the Nav lights on correct ? and only the front one comes on with anchor light on ? I want make sure I am understanding exactly what it is doing , If this is the case could a bulb /switch or wiring connection .

You have 3 wires to that lamp power for the front , power for the back and the ground for both .

yes that is it I'm going to look at the fixture itself tomorrow, wish me luck

I think all you "Tupperware" Trojans would look really good with a nice mahogany mast. Make it tall enough to get the anchor light above the canvas & the forward light will reflect off the wings & not blind you. Look at my photobucket link & check out my mast. The second owner of my boat had it custom made.

I installed a new Radar Arch, so I also installed the new mast light on that. What happened to me is that the running portion worked from my switch on the bridge, but not the anchor light. On the anchor light, I had to go down to the salon to turn that on. Strange, I think the light pull switch could be malfunctioning on the second position, but have yet to change that out. All running on the same three wires discussed in the thread, so I wasn't sure if it was designed like this vs. not working.
