The bungee cords used to store the navigation light for the M30 bridge erection boat (BEB) can take a beating from the sun and other elements. When it’s time to replace them, you can upgrade the bungee cords and at the same time save a good bit of money. Here’s how…
 
The bungee cords, NSN 4020-01-659-5808, that come as part of your boat’s basic issue items (BII) costs $148.10 each. Instead of buying that, order a new bungee cord with NSN 5342-01-109-3221. The bungee cord that comes with that NSN is more heavy duty, so it’ll last longer. And each one costs less than $4!
