Re: switch panel
I agree with Mcgill and John, the bluesea weatherdeck switch panels are great. They also make one with built in circuit breakers not requiring the carrying of fuses, but that one doesn't light up in two colors- red/illumination green/on like the ATC fuse model.
I checked out Vector marine, and will probably use him in the future as my local plastic shop doing that kind of work has changed hands and can't do that kind of work.
If you do go that route, I would steer clear of the rocker/carlingswitch and opt for a toggle with a waterproof boot. The carlingswitch lasts unbelievably long considering it allows water to leak right inside and through your panel, but that is usually undesirable. Also, the rubber on those rocker/carlingswitches becomes overly gummy after time/sun exposure. The toggle switches are usually much more available/West Marine should you need to replace one in the future on a Saturday. Cole Hersee is my favorite when it comes to that kind of stuff.
