Factory NAV lights are a disaster. I went to www.superbrightleds.com and bought the biggest, brightest green and red ones. Have had no issues since and that was a couple years ago. Also, fill your anchor locker with fiberglass resin until the floor height matches the drain so your locker stays dry. Otherwise the constant moisture rots your nav light sockets.

Hey ShootinRopes35z, just thought I would let you know you aren't alone. I broke a blade off the starboard prop. the blade chopped off the cavitation plate off the nxt lower.

While we are all on 35Zr's.....
I am thinking about losing the cockpit cover going forward next season. The rows of snaps look ugly and I just do not use it considering that we keep it in the high and dry all year long. My plan is to purchase a nice nylon or acrylic full cover for storage.
Snaps would be removed this winter and gelcoat repaired.
Any input is welcome as I have never utilized a full cover in this capacity year round.

I am so aggravated with this masthead light issue. Westmarine has NO idea where to locate a masthead light that will fit a horizontal mount. Where do I go or who do I call to find one of these! We have a poker run coming up, and I can't find the appropriate masthead light! 38 Donzi ZR anyone have a website or suggestions other then filling pole with sand or manually bending it to fit? What if I just buy an 8 foot pole and tape an all around to the top of it, then suction cup it to the port side of the stern? Getting pretty desperate at this point.

This is just a thought...why can't you just remove the horizontal mount and install a standard mast pole mount in its place and use a regular West Marine pole? I would think that with the new hole you will have to drill would more than cover up the mounting holes from the horizontal one. I can't remember off hand how big the base is on the horizontal mount.

I still say pulling the plug out of the bottom of the pole...filling it with sand and bending it around a pole is going to be less frustration than scouring the internet for the OEM replacement OR you can use the suction cup deal until I pull the boat out in the Spring and mount mine vertical then you can buy my old horizontal mount pole...
