Thanks you. That looks to be it, exactly where Trinimax said it would be.

Not to beat a dead horse, but remember that is a 120v AC to 12v AC transformer. You can buy 12 vac leds and simply replace your current bulbs. The same led bulbs should work on the dc side as well.

Or, you can buy a led driver like my earlier post and replace the transformer. Many drivers will be dimable.

This has always bugged me but I guess not unusual in my vintage of boat. Year 2000 43' Ocean SS. The salon overheads and master stateroom overheads are 12v halogen fixtures wired into the AC side of my panel with reostat style dimmer switch. The fixtures are junk and the reostats are balky. I'd like to replace all of the fixtures with modern dimable LED fixtures, remove the transformer, and move the circuit to the DC side of the panel. BUT, I have no idea where the transformers are. Hoping they're not hidden behind the headliner because dropping that is not a project I want to get into. I have been behind my master panel many times and I know they are not there. Just wondering if anyone who reads here has found them or knows where to look.
