>> Hi Max,

>> That light position was original and the wiring is molded into the
>> cabin
>> top between the inner and outer fiberglass shells. I upgraded the
>> original
>> light for a modern halogen light. When I upgraded my wiring
>> harness some
>> years ago, it was a lot of trouble because Catalina only left a
>> very little
>> of the wiring showing at the harness inside the port cabinet over the
>> dinette. I had to surgically cut back the fiberglass to expose
>> enough wire
>> to solder on a longer lead to connect to my new 10 ga. harness. The
>> original harness was 16 or 18 ga. and connected to the light
>> leaders by
>> 3-way crimp connectors which don't last forever in salt air.
>>
>> I'm surprised your boat doesn't have a light unless it went bad and
>> the
>> previous owner covered up the mounting holes to hide the fact there
>> was a
>> light missing. You may want to try to expose your harness where
>> the deck
>> meets the hull inside the boat. You may find you have a wiring
>> branch going
>> up into the headlinner. If so, you can use a toner to follow the
>> wire
>> through the cabin top to expose where it should have a light.
>>
>> That is a very important light on the 38 and I bet your boat had
>> one at one
