Hi folks, our 1990 350 EC has 3 courtesy lights, 2 below deck, the other is at the first step from the cockpit area to the cabin. All the filament bulbs are spent, however I do have power to all the wiring. My question, is there a switch to operate these, or are they operated by the circuit breaker at the helm, marked "indirect lighting"?
I do have new led lights to replace the old. Any help is much appreciated.
 
There should be a switch marked as cockpit lighting
Normally one near the transom door and another as you go down the stairs into the salon

All's Well, thanks for the reply. Ive pulled the two switches as you enter the salon, nothing lokks modified ir tampered with. Power is constant no matter which position the switches are in. I'll have to check the cockpit light switch. I should have an answer tomorrow.

We have the 93 Sundancer version and I have yet to find a switch for the indirect lighting other than the breaker switch.

Krazzeeddie, i think i just confirmed what you said. Unless there is a rocker switch switch hiding somewhere. I just checked for one near the transom door. That would be a sensible place for it, however no switch or any electrical near the transom other than the cockpit light fixtures which shine down on the floor. Courtesy lights did not opreate with cockpit lights. So it wouldn't be too tough to install a switch up in the helm somewhere since the breaker is right there. For now ill just use the breaker, as i do for bilge lights and water system. 1560216521348648058022875436391.jpg 15602165711744278017150207328772.jpg Check out these little blue led coutesy lights, bought on ebay.

Thanks I’ll look them up, I am not sure why some have switches and some don’t but it sure makes it a pain when you don’t have one.
