Our mast came down in moderately heavy seas (screw in turnbuckle snapped), taking the fiberglass base with it. Fortunately (I guess), the remaining wire held and it did not go overboard. We are now ready to reinstall it, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to rewire it. Attached is a picture of what I'm dealing with. Does anyone know which wire goes where? Thanks.

Sorry to hear about your little mishap, but should be able to figure out the wires by simply using any volt detector. Have someone engage the horn and detect which wire is hot, next do the anchor light, then the search light. On my R-21 (2009) there is a connection on the smoke stack for the anchor and search light. The wires for the horn pass through the roof cap under the horn. The ground wire should be common for the plug on the smoke stack, the horn has its own ground wire if I remember correctly.
Best of luck on the fix. Bob
