John, Made the wedge base for my stern light from aluminum - part of the de-wooding of the exterior. Not hard to do - plastic would work well too. Good Luck GO In a message dated 2/4/2016 8:42:25 P.M. US Mountain Standard Time, john@eco-living.net writes: On 02/04/2016 09:09 AM, Thomas Buzzi wrote:

Speaking of stern light - my M17 has the standard Perko dome style light installed on the downward slope of the port side coaming where it drops down to the transom. But it was just mounted flat on the slope, meaning it's tilted quite steeply. The solid part of the dome blocks a lot of the light astern (problematic, for a stern light!). Some of the pictures shared recently about other things (like rudders) included a view of same light in same place, but with a nice wood wedge under the light so it sits level with respect to the horizon. For those who have something like that for their stern light - was it something you bought, or did you make it or have it made, one-off? I want to level my light in same way so wondering if there's something ready-made or I'll need to make it. thanks, John S. -- John Schinnerer - M.A., Whole Systems Design -------------------------------------------- - Eco-Living - Whole Systems Design Services People - Place - Learning - Integration john@eco-living.net - 510.982.1334 http://eco-living.net http://sociocracyconsulting.com
