......now what have we here? Step one of the transformation

Rewiring the boat meant a lot of homework to decide where the new control panels and charge control by Marlec would go. (I very, very much regret using Marlec, poor quality backed up by poor service and warranty, but that is a whole topic on its own)

This is where the rewiring starts, layout for the new fuse/control panels and framework for the ply fascia.

Ply fascia made with cutout for drop down panel to allow access.

I purchased rolls of Sapelle veneer, bonded on with Thixofix impact adhesive, applied using a screen printing roller. Sanded and varnished.

Finished panel with the Raymarine Chartplotter on a hinged arm so it can be viewed inside, DSC radio, CD player/radio/USB sound system, and of course the iphone charger!!

or out.
