Hi Dennis,
Try a different approach to the problem... pour the Admiral another glass o'
wine and reassure her that she can do the dishes in the morning. :)
Oh my.

Started a new project today. Ken's pics of his really nice overhead down
lights got me thinking. The galley light in the 35-1 is tucked under the deck
so it doesn't provide much light for the sink. Directly above the sink is a
winch access panel. Would it be possible to mount a down light in the panel?
Two questions immediately popped up. First, can I get a wire in there? Second,
can I find a light that will fit the shallow space? I've answered the first
question. After several attempts, I managed to fish a messenger string into the
space. A fish tape wouldn't work. I worked a coat hanger from the access
between the headliner and cabin roof down the curved corner of the cabin roof
to pop out under the forward part of the cockpit coaming. I might have to pull
a small wire like AWG 16 but I'll be using an LED light so no biggie. I've
measured the space and it's only 1 inch deep because of some added deck
strengthening. If I can't find a 1 inch deep LED down light I can always make
a bezel trim to add to the access panel. Anybody found a good one? Needs to
be 2 inch diameter or less. I also need to determine how and where to put the
switch if there's not one on the fixture.
