[StartQuote] Hello Bill, The PT658 has 4 deadlights. They are about 6 inches across and round. Brass Frame around glass. They are all mounted on the centerline. There is One in the Officers Head,(located just below the radar prop) One on the Engine Room Removable Hatch, One in the Aft Crews Head,(located just forward of the 40mm ammo box on the deck) and one in the Lazarette.(located just forward of the smoke generator canister on the deck) They are called Dead Lights because it does not need "Live" electrical power to allow light through the deck. The things Randy is referring to I believe are air scoops. The air scoops located over each outboard engine to allow lifting cables to install or remove engines. Anyway I took a photo so you can see an example of a Higgins Dead light. This is the one on the forward end of the removable engine hatch. Hope this helps.
