[C320-list] Anchor Light?

[Pat Moriarty]

My connectors are in the mast at the base, just take it down and 
there they are,,,,,,,,,,,what a pain and then you find it was in the 
panel or the wire up the mast. Next time I have the mast down I am 
using the horizontal boson chair and replace everything just so I 
don't have to listen to the crew/wife @#$@$ about my heavy ass going 
up the mast.
