DJ is making excellent progress on the electrical system.
The galley/salon and stateroom sub-panels.
Currently live but nothing hooked up yet.
The old 32v ac transformer and battery charger.
DJ has now completely removed the old 32v system.
This is where the 32v DC system was in the engine room.
The new bilge pump control panel will go here.
This is where the 32v battery bank used to be.
The old 32v battery bank removed from the boat
and ready for recycling.
Another pile of old wire, speakers and battery boxes.
Eric posted this comment on Facebook about the old wiring and why it has been removed:
"Much was so old it had cracked insulation or heavily oxidized copper. Some was house grade not marine grade and not safe to use. Some was just very old, original stuff that had been disconnected and left years ago. On an aluminum boat you don't take chances with electricity.
