I replaced all of the incandescent rope lighting in my boat with new LEDs, which are much brighter and consume about 10% of the power required for the old lights. The section that runs behind the dinette under the valence was the most difficult to rewire. I removed the 4 screws for the wood panel that has the 4 rocker switches for the cabin lights and discovered a major electrical distribution panel behind it (and the connection for the rope light!). The purpose for this post is to highlight that this boat does have a galvanic isolator. My marine survey indicated that the boat didn't have one. I can see why he didn't find it! It's the black box at the top of the photo with the blue label. The one on my 2001 is a Pro Mariner, Zinc Saver II, 30 amps.
