Warren,

Thanks for setting me straight on the grease. What I have is actually 
dielectric, I just used the wrong terminology. As for the owners manual, 
the one I have has a wiring diagram with wire colors but I see no 
reference to fixture type. Will contact Catalina Direct to see if they 
can supply the correct data.

I am the 3rd owner, so there may have been paperwork lost along the way, 
that I did not receive with the boat.

Thanks,
Doug
