Hello Gentlemen,
Well I was able to square away my lighting problem. After cleaning my 40 AMP Buss fuses, I was still left with my running, and spreader lights not working. Turns out that the festoon light bulbs on the red & green lights were corroded. With both lights out, I thought it was maybe a switch or something. As for the Mast head light, it is meant to be a 360' degree light when running. I thought the 360 degree was for anchor, and that running was suppost to be a rear light 2 pts abaft the beam. Oh Well, So much for my Coast Guard training.
My friend Bill, who is a Local 3 Electrician stopped by Saturday to see about the Spreader lights. Being that both were out I figured the worst case scenario. I figured a switch, or bad connection somewhere. Bill checked out the bulbs, and sure as hec, Bad Bulbs. Boy did I feel like a Jerk. I did pick up a anti corrosive spray by Boeing to spray everything down. Well thats my update. Hope to be in the water midweek. Thanks again for all the help.
