Wiring short in headliner of CD33

[mike]

I've figured out we have a shorted out wire in the headliner just over the stove on our CD33.

I'm wondering if anyone has had similar experiences and how they went about effecting the repair of the wire and then the overhead liner, which is fiberglass.

Any help would be most appreciated,

thanks in advance,

hi mike, here it is .the wire in the head liner runs down behind the teak plywood by the portholes and above the liner over your dishes. that wire is soldered to the main wiring for port side lights. the connection should be found along the hull to deck joint above the dishes. you will not be able to remove the wire to the over head light,too many 90 degree bends . i know the problem first hand as i had the same problem.i had to replace the teak plywood at the portholes because water had rotted it caused by the teak stripe above the portholes. the problem maybe solved (if you can) by removing the liner ,the large one and the small one port side and running the wire aft, then down the bulk head to the electrical panel. hope this helps

Tom,

I've been thinking of cutting out a small section of the liner (as I have a fairly good idea of where the short is and then fiberglassing it back in. Any idea of how much space is available between the deck and the liner?

thanks,
mike
