My work life keeps me abreast of many electrical things including that breakers are not to be used as switches because use changes the break point over time. That's not really an issue in my commercial and residential applications as the breakers are sequestered on panels well away from applications and users. Lights are turned on with switches, not breakers.
Such is not the case in the boat world and the breakers on my Blue Sea panel are often the only "switch" to turn a light on or off. The cabin lights have separate switches, but the navigation and engine room lights do not. No big deal, of course, but I wonder if later versions of the Mariner 37 / Helmsman 38 have dedicated switches for the engine room lights? If so, where is that switch?
