Navigation Lights

Post by mak'nem »

I have recently purchased a Trojan F32 and the previous owner had the Fly Bridge removed and had the deck and wheel house recored and fiberglasses. However I had the boat transported with the Fly Bridge off and am in the process of tracing and checking the wiring, so far so good, however I have located and wired up the Stern Light but for the world I can't see any Port and Starboard lights up forward. Could someone send me a picture showing the location of these lights and also the Anchor light.
Also to check the wiring behind the dash would I be best removing the lower helm wheel or trying to get at the wires from the side panel on the companion way?
Many thanks,
Ian

Welcome to the forum. There are a lot of F-32 owners here who I am sure can help you.

Your front nav lights are just in front of the second bow rail support .( from the front ) mounted in the same area as the bow rail.

the anchor/front white running lamp mounts to the front of the flybrige its on a pole right at eye level . this from the factory , could have been moved because it is a poor place to be ( first thing I did to my boat)

They should be VERY obvious forward just under the rail, unless the Prev Owner moved them ( I did).

You can get to some wires from the side panel. I have a panel in the galley as well (standard?) as well. I've never taken my lower helm cover off.
