[C320-list] Cabin Light problems

[Greg Flanagan]

There are excellent battery run LED lights now available. I put one over the mirror in the head. The battery lasts at least a sailing season and is charged with a USB cable.  Ought on Amazon.

For others—all my cabin lights are on one breaker on the panel.

I replaced the bulb, then the fixture without success, then identified a wire with frayed insulation at the forward end of the lazarette. As it goes forward, presumably to this light fixture, the wiring is tightly wedged between the headliner and deck...I'm afraid to try to pull new wire through and have the old wire snap...any suggestions?

Jack Brenden, I may find myself in the Tampa area this winter. I will have to look you up. Summer is well underway in the PNW. I am planning on a month long cruise into Canadian waters, possibly alone a good part of the time.
