Electrical System Rebuild

We've never had decent electrical capacity on a boat.  So we were really excited to be able to do  simple things like reading at night, not using flashlights to find our way around the boat and so on.  Of course, a couple things stood in the way.  Namely designing the new system and then building it.

After a ton of research and a couple phone consultations with experienced electricians, we ended up with a schematic and a wiring diagram.

With the design done, all that was left to do was build it out.  Who knew the design part was the easiest phase??

Several weekends of tearing out old stuff, figuring out where to run things, and installing the new bits and pieces and, voila! We have lights, shore power and even 110v without shore-power.

And best of all, we can monitor and keep track of how much we've used and how much is left.

Most people take all that stuff for granted.  But they haven't had to start from scratch!
