I was appalled, a year ago, only weeks after closing on my boat, when I looked at the wiring behind the DC breaker panel. With inspiration and guidance from posts on this forum, I have recently completed the transformation to (IMHO) a respectable wiring situation.
BEFORE:
AFTER:
I installed the two terminal strips for all out-going wiring, with all wires labelled. Some wires have the crude vinyl taped flags for labels, but later, I used a proper label maker which really contributed a lot to this and other wiring locations, in terms of neatness and professional appearance. At left is a ground strip, and another one was installed directly above it to accept all of the many ground wires from the original build.
I am really pleased with the eventual result, and I have confidence that the completed project will serve me well going forward.
