Given how hard it was to get my compass off when I had the pedestal
painted, I don't think my compass has been off for a winter except for
that one. No bubbles, works perfectly.

Yikes! As a physicist, I just have to cry out and say that this statement is
wrong.
Yes, water is unique in that it expands as it changes phase from liquid to
solid.
But the expansion occurs because of the laws of thermodynamics not despite it.

I switched all the bulbs in my instrument lights (fuel gauge, etc) to red LEDs

Josh,
If I had to replace the switch for the compass light or rewire it, I’d consider
powering it off the navigation lights. I think the connection on a 37+ could
easily be made in the lazarette which already has power to the stern light.
This wouldn’t be much different than the dash
I like having the option to control lights in the cockpit. I installed a
Blue Sea Systems 3 switch Contura style panel in a bulkhead near the helm
station. On that panel is the compass light, the engine compartment blower
(not really needed since the repower to a diesel) and the fuel gauge. The

My gps wires go to a terminal board. I conveniently used the 12v terminal
from that. My compass light is LED, so yes now whenever the gps is on, the
compass light is on. It uses and extra 0.1amps during the day when you
don't necessarily need it.

Wrapping up Windstar's electrical work and I notice one, final, hokey, length
of wire-with-hidden-glass-fuse - the binnacle light. This was wired to the
12v hot wire on the starter, back to a big clunky pull switch awkwardly mounted
at the engine control panel, and thence to the pedestal.

Someone suggested mineral spirits. That's another name for paint thinner, and
shouldn't be used. Use mineral oil.
