Dad's original house panel. After 40 years the switches are starting to show signs of corrosion. Plus with all of the USB charged devices now, I want some more power outlets.

Dad's wiring. Looks fairly straight forward. No problem troubleshooting this bird's nest. Looks like he hired someone from India to wire it.

So I built a box out of maple to house the fuses panel and two terminal strips.

Of course I stained it. After all, even though no one will see it, it's beautiful ribbon grain maple.

The box is wired ahead of installation so when I get it on the boat all I have to do is connect the existing device wires to the terminal strips.

I'm just waiting for my 4 port power panel to arrive from China. Next steps include mounting the new part, re-cutting plastic face panel and mounting on board T2.

The new panel

A little more plastic than I'd like but... The panel had to be large to facilitate access to the fuse block and wiring behind.
