342 LED Cockpit lights

[Butch]

These are the ones that shine across the floor.How hard are they to change? Do they unscrew or how do you remove them to replace them as you can't get to the back of them.

I have a 06-342 where is the switch for the cockpit LED lights.
We have LED lights below aft wall and forward wall came with boat.
They are strips that unscrew to replace a string.

If you are talking about the mood string lights in the cabin the switch is on the ac distribution panel.  It is a rocker switch at the bottom of the panel.

Where is the switch that you are referring for the cockpit LEDS ?

[Mikes342]

mine is a horizontal rocker switch on the ac distribution panel.  It is at the bottom of the panel

Will investigate this weekend. Thanks

Butch, the LED lights you are refering to are located in the cockpit, correct?  If so all are reachable with some disassembly. lol   The Refrigerator can be removed to access most and the step light on the aft area can be accessed by the engine compartment.
The strip lights in the cabin are incondesant, not LED
The lights in the DSR panel or distribution circuit breaker panel are also incondesant, not LED

Syracuse IN, Can I get to the back of
the ac/dc panel below. It appears a lot
of trim work must be removed. I have an
06-342.

Sailor,  Yes the panel can come out but it is alot of work, 2 to 3 hrs.  The Refer has to come out to gain access to the wiring harness support.   The panel / box  called the DSR panel comes out the front.  Do you have the smoked glass door?  If so, this must be removed first. and then the panel can come out the front.  The hardes part of doing this is removing the smoked door.  The lights inside the DSR  are replaceable, very basic.  Lights can be bought at local hardware.  Al

Thanks, of course it is the one that I will have to remove the refrigerator.I thought LED's would last for years.

[alswagg]

It might be a connection.  The wires are 22 gauge and are very fragile.  Al

Some clarrification. There are small lights below (aft/forward) attached to
the interior,the switch is on the a/c panel. Now there are floor lights in the
cockpit area, Where is this switch ?

alswagg,

I have the smoked glass in front of my AC distribution panel.  It is an 06  342 built in november of 05.  Are you saying to replace the bulbs behind the panel you just have to take the smoked glass panel off then pull the front panel out?
