All, I have an electrical question as well. The PO added a stereo and VHF. The stereo is DOA and I will be replacing it soon. I am also going to move it to a more suitable location.? I am not sure at this time how it was wired into the panel and weather is was hot wired directly to the battery side of the switch. I will find this out the next trip out to the boat.
I do know that the VHF is wired that way considering that it will not shut off when the battery switch is set to off. Does any one know if there are accessory connections to the inside of the panel?

From the factory maybe it's the rear white navigation light. Owners do add things over time.

Force of habit, I guess. Do you know where the positive (blue) wire goes when it heads aft from the port cabin light?

Did you mean to type negative the typical common connection for DC?

Wiring runs forward from the starboard panel (with a blue wire) to the starboard light to v berth light through the anchor locker to the other v berth light on the port side to the port side cabin light then aft to ?????? I know 4 ohms will produce a 3 amp current on a 12 volt system - not enough to blow a 20 amp fuse. Has anyone run into this problem?
