Guys thanks ... keep the suggestions rolling. I need to think it to death before starting to rewire. I am scared to start because of the tight space and other electronics stuff that i would like to add in the future. Starting to take notice of how other boats electronics (new and old) are layed out. I need to see more examples of do's and dont's!
My buddies SeaVee is layed out nicely ... but that is a diff animal with plenty of glass space! [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]
My hour meter is dead, old guage with the old Yamaha. The new Suzuki guage is a multi with the hour meter displays through the tach meter prior to startup. So this hour meter guage will get tossed for space!
Fuel guage, nice thought to mount down low. I will consider moving it there, i like having it as a backup to the Navman.
That should free up some space on the guage panel.
I do have a hardtop, but no electronics box. When Don (PipeMan) made the top, i wanted to keep the top at a min height. An electronics box would cut into the headroom and obstruct viewing. I could get away with mounting the VHF to the top though ... good suggestion!
Warty, a box within a box is also a good thought!
I also was curious on why you guys picked this fuse panel;
#8261
instead of the this breaker panel;
#8371
