[Rhodes22-list] Cabin Wiring Question

[Jay Friedland]

Jerry,
Thanks for the response. We (Shelly Greene, another R-22 owner and I)  
have the Casey book, but feel there may be a simpler way, joining  
Windex with steaming light for use when underway. That would leave a  
common ground on the 4-wire cable and connector. These two would tie  
into the running lights on the panel and give a switch for the anchor  
and a separate one already exists for the deck light. Also, with the  
Sea-Dog panel they don't show any double position switches.

I believe my wires run through the compression post wall, into the  
water tank area, under the head flooring under the galley cabinet to  
the icebox and then the panel. Right now, that's my best guess. Based  
on your rewiring, can I estimate 15 or 20 feet for new wire from mast  
step to panel? Anything else we need to look for on this?

We may come back to the Don Casey route if it's more complicated  
thane this. Thanks, again.
Jay
