Funny course of corrections & progress thus far...I had some lights on starboard, and none on port side. Ripped apart lower "roof" over port settee and repaired/replaced some wiring, eliminating the splice for a crappy overhead fan (suspecting that to be main culprit). Also replaced bulbs and a switch on un-working starboard fixtures...and success... except for the new switch. Then, I had the brilliant idea to re-integrate the crappy fan at a splice that I'd end-capped.

Then, fuse (cabin lights DC) started popping. And kept popping...

Now, I'm back to just the oil lamp. Grrr.

The goods news, however, is that I've wired the radar dome and MFD. All that remains there is to get out in the water (away from all those land reflections and isolate on an identifiable bouy) and fine-tune its orientation.

We think high school sophomores (16) are able to make that level headed decision... But if you really want to leave your Scooby Doo lunchbox behind... you can get married at 15 with yer parent's X on the dotted line...

Interestingly enough it's the older generation that was subject to the more backwards Mississippi than anything...

Prohibition was repealed in....???? 1966... That's right... It was illegal to console yourself with a toddy for JFK's assassination, or celebrate having a dream about a mountain top... Our county was DRY until 2 years ago, which now saves me shizzit load of fuel not having to drive an hour away for my bourbee...

Even funnier... If you didn't possess a willie behind your zipper... Forget about voting until... 1984....

Sounds like there's a combination of high resistance in your:
1. Connections, including battery, breaker, buss... anywhere all the way to the end load on the circuit... too many, or poorly done...
2. Bad breaker
3. Loads are higher than they are supposed to be, bad components or wrong bulbs
4. Wrong size wire...

Get yourself one of these... It will make you way smarter...
