The bow light was not working. Measured voltage at the panel, the wire nuts in the anchor locker, but no voltage at the terminals inside the light.
Removed the light. Removed fixture from the bow pulpit. Found one wire severed at the exist from the pulpit and the other damanged. Thankfully, there was enought distance between the wire nuts and the underside of the deck to allow me to push the 2 conduction cable up into the pulpit a bit, pull that bit out of the pulpit at the fixture, and repeat about four times till enought wire was exposed to cut off the damaged section and reconnect the bow light.
The condition of the wire is not good. There has been some corrosion into the length of the wire. Wire needs to be replaced with a single piece of 2 conductor cable leading back to the panel or two primary wires, 12+ from the panel, and 12- from a negative bus bar in the v-berth. The 12- bus bar could handle the 12- for the anchor light, deck light, steaming light, and bow light. The total draws of all four circuits is 45W or less than 4A at 12V. Well within the capabilities of 14 AWG conductors. (See Electrical Power Usage)
The seizing on the jib halyard holding the tail of the bowline securing the halyard to the shackle connected to the upper swivel had loosened. Replaced the seizing with Marlow Robline . Lubricated the upper swivel with Lewmar winch grease.
