Replacing masthead lights requires multiple ascents using a bosun's chair, a drill, and pop rivets to secure new hardware.0:25 The project involves installing a new tricolor light, an anchor light, and a radar reflector, while replacing old wiring with new cables routed through the mast.6:00 To save costs, an existing light housing is modified to serve as the backlight for the tricolor, with the internal reflector painted to achieve the required 135-degree arc.6:27 Connections at the base of the mast are protected using a gel insulation kit and heat-shrink tubing before being wired into the distribution fuse box.11:26 During the installation, the crew encounters a slipping winch, requiring maintenance before the ascent can continue.1:07 Weather delays interrupt the work, forcing the crew to pause and resume over several days.9:38 Final testing confirms the tricolor and anchor lights function, though the deck light requires further troubleshooting at the masthead.12:51
