In Response To: P23- Mast Head Light (link) (Paul Johnson)

I've read somewhere that a pound up on the mast is equivalent to 7 lbs on the the side of the boat. Of course that poundage varies depending on the lenght of the mast but guess that's an avg weight. So multiply your weight by 7 and then you decide if the P-23 is up to it. (I think not).
