Hit a submerged chain.  Back in the yard, an examination revealed that the f/g bulb housing had been holed.  Attached pictures of before and after repair.  The kelp cutter slot was smashed closed.  I used a disk on a dremel to recreate the slot and tweaked in the gap with a flat blade screw driver.  Also noted that there is a 1/8" space between the f/g skin and lead in this area.  I filled in the patch back to the lead.  Then sand and paint.

Just an aside. I looked at the US143 base and the rear bolt is in hole #2.  I will move it forward. I noticed the mast had some movement for and aft.
