Electrical Panel
Home Up Q&A Electrical Panel

Our original panel was on the aft bulkhead just like everyone else's. But we kept adding accessories, and having problems with the original wiring due to oxidation of conductors etc. so I have basically rewired the whole boat, and made up that panel on the side.

One of the things I hated about the original wiring was the "18 thousand ground wires clumped together on a floating bolt" system they had used. To improve on this, behind the hinged front face of the panel, are two long brass bus bars, that I drilled and tapped with about 20 terminal screws each.
