Default Can I screw here? ;0)

How did they secure overhead lights above the V-berth? Is there some wood up there? Sure looks thin to the deck. The flat, odd light in the center of the photo is only held to the headliner.

Remove one of the lights and see how it's wired.

What I mean is...... there is a wire running back there. If this is a upholstered panel, you'd confirm it, and know you could screw into it. I doubt they routed the wire underneath upholstery glued directly to the fiberglass.
