Still tarting Belle up (or is that not "politically correct" nowadays?)
I replaced the one duff bulb in the nav light, & cleaned the connection in the non working anchor light.
I investigated the horn, after the spades (is that still correct) were cleaned, I connected the both together & the horn worked. So I checked the cable from the horn button to the horn & NOTHIING, So the problem has to be between the horn button & the horn itself. I am on a roll now, so I remove the cable between both, I solder the ends at the horrn button end, but by now it is raining quite hard & the boat is facing the wrong way, & my back is now soaking wet!
By now I have worked out that there is a break in the cable between horn & button (for me that is advanced), now all I want is some dry weather & I will fit bayonets on the horn, connect it up, & hopefully I wont have to shout at the "Barmy Army" to drop the anchor anymore, progress!
