Re: Anchor light = Masthead light + Stern light?

any light is better then nothing in the short term as long as it would not confuse other boaters at night, but you should get a proper light if you will be anchoring in the future.

Re: How long is your anchor snubber?

the idea of the snubber is to take the load off the windlass and put it on the cleats which were made to hold the load of the boat. do you want the four bolts holding the entire weight of your boat?

I am not great with electrical but need to put in a GI as recomended by my surveyor. It seems like a 32 would cover it? I have a 30 amp shore cord if that means anything?
