[Rhodes22-list] Bow Lights - Wiring

[Julie Thorndycraft]

Ed,
Our boat spent it's earlier days in Florida and we have found in some cases
that if you pull on some of the wires, they fall apart from corrosion. Our
intention is to replace most of the wiring and we started with the bow
lights because they were already intermittent. I forgot to mention that of
this specific wire run that we have found so far, there have been three
splices.
Julie
