What a great thread. My mast light was broken when I bought the boat, now I know just what to replace it with. Thanks

If you can get your hands on some orange foam that is used in floating docks, it can be shaped with a hack saw blade. But I con't to use the plastic bottles. If it works it must be norwegian.

Don't feel bad. I once parked my truck and trailer on the boat ramp and after aplying the e-brake I went to get my ski boat to drive it on the trailer.
