I want to praise Attwood support...and Steven Havinga in particular. I had lost the plastic cover off my starboard running light of my Avon dinghy and inquired of Defender (an Avon dealer) how to get a replacement. Defender suggested that it was an Attwood fixture and directed me there. Steven at Attwood responded: "Got just what you're looking for, if you would like to e-mail me your mailing address I would be happy to send you a free replacement." I have no connection to Attwood other than being a happy, NON-PAYING customer! Their website is: http://www.attwoodmarine.com/ Bob ________________ Robert Calhoun Smith Jr in DC M/V MARY KATHRYN Hatteras 58 LRC Lying South River Annapolis, MD

This must be the reason they have been around so long. "Attwood was founded in 1893 by Charles F. Attwood as Attwood Brass Works, making parts for carriages and hearses." Their amazing history can be found at < http://www.attwoodmarine.com/identity/ >.
