New Ritchie LED Red Compass light - Installed and working - 2017

Our Ritchie Compass light went out as we posted before and we bought a new LED one.

I cut the old one off by the compass housing hole and then attached the new LED red Ritchie replacement light to those wires. 


December 2017 -  Tied up in the El Cid Marina Mazatlán, Mexico

Not quite straight forward but not difficult.

The red wire from the LED Ritchie new light attached to the white wire from the old Ritchie light. There is no bracket or way to set the new RED LED's (two led red lights) in the housing where the black light cover is. Not like with the old light.

I just positioned the LED red light circuit board where the old one went and screwed the black housing cover back on. They stayed in place and work well. 

I used liquid electrical tape and then put electrical tape over that. They also are not exposed to water but I am sure salt air will get in the area. The conections are safely sealed.

 

 

Ya Man!
