Thanks Jon,

I looked at that and the Anchor Light and Deck light are on the same Bus (same as the newly installed toilet) but the steaming light is on the other bus, which leads me to think when the VHF antennae was changed the mast wiring somehow got messed up.  But the antennae is on top of the mast, and shouldn't really be connected to the electrical system in my opinion.  (Maybe I'm wrong).  And why would the 12v outlet not be working, (May be a completely unrelated issue).  I'm going to have an electrical guy replace the batteries, and I can have him help troubleshoot the issue, but I just want to learn as much as I can about the system.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Hello All,

I am a new 34 MKII owner and looking for advice.  I've searched the forums and haven't found answers, but perhaps I overlooked some other threads since I haven't quite mastered the search function yet. 

Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone has run into this situation.  I recently had an electric head installed which required a 10A circuit breaker switch be installed in the aux one space in my DC panel.  I also had the VHF antennae on the mast replaced since it had been damaged.  I went for an overnight cruise last week and while moored up, found that my Anchor Light, Steaming light, deck light and 12V outlet are all not working.  They were working a couple weeks ago at the survey prior to said "improvements".

I checked all the connections behind the panel and nothing is obviously disconnected or fried.  I am not sure what else to check.  It seems it would be related to the breaker installation, but I'm not sure how that would effect the 12 volt outlet.  It's a confusing situation, and there may be more than one cause.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I troubleshoot and learn.

Thanks to all of you.
