I am not sure but seems like Aaron is avoiding the question. I think I may have a key so we can drink his Pussers rum.

He is avoiding the question because there won't be any excuses left for it to be left sitting at the pier! So grab the key Mike and we will go drink his Pusser's!!

first off, i'd like to apologize for the lack of response yesterday afternoon and this morning. i've been dealing with a sick boston terrier and my primary server to the internet is through AOL. both have been acting up since last evening and this morning. i'm writing this from panara bread in golden ring as it's the only way i can access the web.

allen, i did call you that day and we did exchange ideas... remember that was the afternoon i was going back on call? i could not get to the boat since i was going to be either called out or contacted by the crew desk. i know you remember that conversation.....

mike and paul.... pussers is always available to any and all, as long as it's onboard. and guys, i'd love to have any and all help diagnose this 12v problem. i'd never refuse your company.

sorry if i sound distressed.... i'm on call// duty for the next 6 days and with maccabee feeling bad (montazumas revenge does not even begin to describe what i have encountered with him the last 16 hrs or so.... i'm resorting to the home made boiled chix and rice for the time being until his GI track stabilizes......) (and yes, i'm walking on egg shells at the thought of going away with him feeling like this..... and NO... phil is NOT good in situations such as this..... it's amazing maccabee even gets fed and walked when i'm flying)

so, for now, i'm avail on my cell.... 410 227 8133.... i've got to head home in a few minutes so this is probably the last response to the thread for a day or two.... but, rest assured guys, i really appreciate all the congrats and offers of help. for now, maccabee is my top priority. i know you pet owners/lovers understand.

Looks like a bad connection or broken wire to me. Here is how I would trouble shoot it.
I would go to the light with a wire from the battery negative and take the wire and touch the negative side of the light with the wire. If the light works then you know everthing to that point is OK. ( make sure light switch is on) If it does not work then it is prior to the light. First light in the circuit that is working probably has a hot wire broken that feeds the rest of the lights. Also could be a connection or splice somewhere in the light circuit.
Since you have mulitple lights out I would suspect that the hot is open at the light that is working closest to the out light. Reason being that the neutral or negative side is working for the rest of the lights on the circuit.
Now saying that, Maybe someone put two wires under one circuit breaker screw. Which means that it has broken at the breaker.

Yup. I know what that can be like. Take him off food completely for a day. He won't starve and its not cruel. Think about when you have been down with similar symptoms. Was putting more food in you something that sounded/felt good at that point? Nowai rite? Same for our 4 legged friends.

Pussers Rum huh? I'm surprised there isn't a lineup to get into your marina and fix this lighting problem for you. Maybe there is. $hit. I'll never get there before the rum is gone. I had my Fluke meter all ready to go too.
