John,
As you may know, the Enterprise-A was a 1978 C&C 34. I must say the wiring was
a source of major headaches over the years.
It always seemed that they wired everything tight, gave very little slack and
then glued the deck on top so it was impossible to access and fix.
Yes. If you run a new line and don't connect it to the other strands somehow,
you will lose the other lights on that side of the boat.
What we ended up doing was running all new wires to wherever we had access and
created new locations for lights. Was a big job and required a lot of planning
so as not to run into dead ends.
The finished product, with all new lights in new locations was really
something. If you have the time, I would recommend doing it.
Practice your yoga first though. You will bend yourself into some crazy
positions.
All the best,
Edd

In the process of changing the interior light over the galley sink have
discovered the wiring has completely corroded. No wire strands – just dust.
It is 2 wires each positive and negative joined at the light. Logic says one
set goes back to the circuit breakers and the other to more lights going
forward. The question is how the wire is run. The wires are embedded in what
appears to be the foam used in construction to adhere the liner to the interior
surfaced of the cabin top and there is no way to see. There is no slack in the
wires. Removing access panels offers no clues. I could just run another set
of wires through the engine compartment for this light, but then I would lose
power for lights going forward ?? I am reluctant to start opening large holes
in the liner to access the wires.
Any thoughts?? And TIA
