New fuse panel installed
In Response To: Wednesday is PHOTO DAY! ()

Finished all the wiring that I'm going to do this season. The panel is all face accessed with two 12 position ATC fuse blocks. The terminal strip and buss bar are mounted in the engine box about 2 feet directly below but about an 8 foot wire run. I've done a lot of tidying up and pulled a lot of unused wire. I've also found a whole bunch of "what was I thinking when I did that." I wish I could blame some of it on previous owners but after 18 years I've pretty much purged the boat of really dumb P.O. stuff. I'll probably rewire the rest of the boat next spring and make a neater job of the buss bar and terminal strip. The new battery monitor is neat little piece of gear. Once I finished wiring it I spent much of the rest of the morning watching amps coming in from the solar panel and going out when I switched things on.
