    Does anyone have a bulls eye deck light fitted to their forehatch to give some light in the forepeak?   If Yes are there any drawbacks i.e. does it make the hatch too heavy, is it a slip hazard etc

      Greg, There is one on Helene. It is a small one I picked up at the boatyard. No disadvantages, and adds little if anything to the weight. I will send a photo, Jim

      Jim,

       

      Thanks.  I am on the look out for  one such.  I have one on the aft hatch but is rather heavy.

      Yippee I have managed to buy one second hand at a stupid price.  Next job is to grind out the scratched and polish the outer face.  Any advice form anyone?  I intend to try fine valve grinding past first and then Basso followed by Silvo.

      Thanks Dom,

      I looked and the posts I saw related to flat glass, alas the outer surface of my bulls eye is shaped so I am working away with initially 400 grit W&D.  I am getting there and have a 1200grit waiting in the wings before I hit it with Brasso! It is giving me an excuse for being indoors when the weather is crap.  I am getting there!
