Working at the top of the mast

Spencer
I have used the ATN climber to go up to the top of the mast a couple times but I wasn't able to get quite high enough to work on the anchor light so the yard lifted me up with the same crane that pulled Sprout out of the water.

The crane made the trip up very easy and fast. I had already replaced the Raymarine wind transducer and was going to check the wiring to the anchor light that has never worked. I removed the anchor light and checked for 12 volts at the wire ends while my helper turned the light switches on. I was very happy to discover that the anchor and tri-color wiring was good, so I ordered a new LED anchor/Tri-color light that I will install in a few days.
