light over dining table

[Sharron]

Cutwater 30 CB 2015
The dimmer switch on the "chandelier" over the dining table does not work. Would like to replace entire fixture as some corrosion is happening. Where can I get a replacement light? Also, what fuse goes to this fixture? The ones for the overhead lights is not it. Had to turn off the House battery to work on it. Must be a better way.

our 31 has a breaker, believe dinette, that shuts it and small lamp on starboard off.

The Ranger/Cutwater Parts Department is currently closed. I had a nice return phone call from Andrew Custis, General Manager, Ranger Tug & Cutwater Boats. He helped me by identifying the replacement part for the dimmer switch. He then emailed me the link for purchasing via Amazon. It comes in a short and long shaft. Since it's free returns, I ordered both to be sure. Love the service of this company. Also, given that the dimmer is the on/off switch, there is not another "fuse" or breaker that interrupts current other than the entire House Battery.

Can you please provide the link to Amazon and after you do the install, whether the short or the long shaft was the correct one for you.
Does this dimmer have an "off" position like the current one on the chandelier?
Thanks for the info.

Here's the link for the short shaft. Sorry I did not post earlier. Will be toward end of month before we are back on the boat. I will update after the install.

The short shaft was the correct dimmer.
Take a picture of how the wires are connected before snipping as the inserted directions in the new part will not work. Also, only 12V so no dangerous hot current. We also changed from LED to dimmable Halogen light bulbs because all of the LED replacements I found were not dimmable. Nice warm light.
