Hi Bill,
My solution was similar to Ron's, except I used 1/4" white acrylic
the same dimension and screw holes as the Thin-Lite fixture and I
mounted it to the deckhead with "cut hose stand-offs" to give room
above it for wire termination.
The replacement is a SeaDog round with integral night light. It's a
much smaller footprint and the Thin-Lite left some rust spots behind,
so the above solution was pretty easy.
Cheers, Russ

Now that is an interesting workaround. Maybe I will look into that,
seeing as I already own these.\
Thanks,

I also used the same lights and mounted them of a 3/8" PVC base that
was cut to fit the base of the fixture with a section routed out for
the wires. This was fairly easy to do. I opted for the
Red/Off/White version so the boat can be "rigged for red" at sunset.

Most of the older C&C's had double rectangular fluorescent lights
in the main cabin, which are nowadays woefully inadequate. I
eventually gave up finding a replacement that would cover all the
holes and I purchased 4 Aqua Signal lights,

But unfortunately there is no space behind the light for wire termination.
What have others used for replacement overhead lighting in the cabin?
