the old small marinetics breakers are "w31" style breakers. Also used in Aviation.

I just ordered a few from this vendor:

Attaching spec sheet for the tyco breakers (ENG_DS_1308242_W23W31_0905.pdf), as well as the original marinetics (31_dim_large.gif).

Cabin Lighting

"The Alpenglow fluorescent is still a top-flight area light, and a good bet for a dome-light retrofit. Taylorbrites's new cold cathode lamp is a winner over the bunk, but new LED lights from Imtra and D.R. Smith are bright, not too cold, and easy on the power."
