Eventually, lol for the past month I have had either the aft berth torn apart (for the new bed) or the forward berth torn apart (for the new airconditioning unit) So I pretty much have the a/c unit installed, still need to mount it, sort out the drain and make an intake for it, but I will have those done next week as far as re assembly goes I am already starting on that I don't need to have the other stuff done to do that.



Then I decided after buying a new circuit panel for the second shore power leg that it looked too damn nice next to the cheap junk yard one I put in last year....... so I am going to rip out the cheap panel and replace it with a nice Blue Sea panel.

You should also update the nautical equivalent of a Hobbs meter, whatever it's called.

scott- I got a guy who makes panels to order, and he does not get that much money either. He pre-wires them and does a fantastic job.

I used those little Blue Sea fuse / distribution / ground blocks for wiring cars. Boat stuff is nice for that, but naval electrical wire is expensive!!!
