Still working through the boat and starting to focus a bit more on the electrical system to establish a solid baseline.
From what I can tell so far, the system appears mostly original, and I haven’t made any changes yet — just observing and trying to understand how everything is currently set up.
Current observations:
Plan:
My goal is to go through the electrical system methodically before doing any upgrades. Right now, I’m focused on:
What would you recommend as the very first priorities when evaluating the electrical system on this boat?
Anything specific to this model that tends to need attention early?
I want to make sure I’m building a solid, safe foundation before adding anything new.
I’ll continue documenting each system as I go.
Appreciate any insight.

From what I can tell so far, the system appears mostly original, and I haven’t made any changes yet — just observing and trying to understand how everything is currently set up.
Current observations:
- Electrical panel appears to be original and in working condition
- Wiring behind compartments looks functional but not fully organized
- Batteries are new, but I still need to confirm the full charging setup
- Shore power is present but not fully tested yet
- No clear labeling or documentation on prior upgrades (if any)
Plan:
My goal is to go through the electrical system methodically before doing any upgrades. Right now, I’m focused on:
- Verifying battery health and connections
- Understanding charging sources (alternator, shore power, etc.)
- Checking fuse/breaker protection
- Identifying any wiring issues or safety concern's
