When we bought the boat the steaming light did not work. It was a wiring failure in the connection located in the bilge. But I decided to examine and potentially rewire the fixture anyway.
There were two additional, unused three-conductor cables in our mast. I do not know why they were installed without being used for anything. Regardless, we used one of them for the new trilight, and the other one we pulled partway back down the mast and I used it for the steaming light fixture. I now have complete confidence in the electrical connections.
