it does look new. i never touched it except to open it up and take picks...

ok im starting this off with some ideas, right now i only have the one marked up . so bear with me ... so this is idea one.

 

[1975oday22]

idea 2 would be box made of pine tongue and groove under the companionway, battery strapped in middle, off to both sides would be switches monitors chargers, ect, the fuse panel would mount inside to the back of the box. and the new wiring for all lights and accessories would either come in from the sides or the back of the box. all hidden of course.

 

[1975oday22]

idea 3 is up in the air, and thats to make a new box over existing switch panel and make it an opening one. then just place battery under companionway door. but with new wiring and all the switches im gonna need for everything that will be installed. monitors ect.

here is a few shots of the shody wiring ..... ordering new wiring and redoing it all.....

 

[1975oday22]

here is 2 shots of my switch panel. wired wrong ? and really coroded. so will be taking it all apart and making a new switch panel custom made ..... with new wiring.

 

[1975oday22]

ok so ive decided to go with idea number one. and here is the start to the switch/monitor /charger panel. keep in mind that i have not marked where anything is going as i havent got everything i need..... but this is a teak wood panel ....

 

[1975oday22]

laying out my new switch panel. it might change , still waiting to hear back from someone about a switch panel im looking at. but here is what my thoughts are so far. just the switches layout.

Interesting, ive been looking into the cause of my mildew problem. and i believe i have found it. . since the gas can has been sitting under the cockpit, i am now more sure then ever that this is the cause of it. now, this boat came to me this way. so now i have to rectify the situation and make it proper. i will have to make a mold resistant fuel locker somewhere up top. . sand all the crap outta the cockpit underside and repaint with mold resitant paint. and maybe gelcoat it as well. here is the article of this .

I like the way that looks in there with the rounded opening framing it all up and making the panel nicely recessed to protect your switches! Seems like that's the best spot and to have tour battery near there would be really convenient and probably best for weight distribution too. Right under the door seem like a great spot bc it is otherwise a kinda unused area but it is also probably the wettest area, especially stepping into cabin in rain etc. so thinking the other spot would be better just for that reason alone.

Are you replacing the stove or losing it completely?

 

[1975oday22]

gonna replace it with a bbq system for cockpit

 

[1975oday22]

this is not my boat, however this is what i have to look forward to when i get the paint outta the screw heads. i will then proceed to take them all out. maybe keep some but not likely. and make storage under there instead.

 

[1975oday22]

here is a few shots of what i have done so far. i still have to try to countersink the screw on for the switches or i might just epoxy them in place. i need 5 more of these style. hopefully i can still get them? and still have to drill the hole for battery cutoff .

So they filled those areas with little foam scraps? I was expecting the spray in stuff. Well that'll be way easier to remove!

Looking good! I see you got yourself a nice big group 24 battery to play with. Not sure if switches like that are still available, or not.. Shoreline marine has similar looking black toggles but not exactly the same. Is there a brand name visible? I only see an F.

 

[1975oday22]

easy to remove yes but not easy to dispose of... lol as for the switches i may end up replacing them with new ones that light up .

no brand name on them . so i think 10 new ones are gonna be in order. but first getting the wiring. then the end of january getting the switches , lights, ect...... i should be on the water for late may early june. hopefully if all goes well.

Solid plan man, I'm basically doing the same approach with a number of things on mine. The wiring is the more important (and time consuming) work, swapping in newer switches later should be easy. Looking forward to seeing this baby in the water!
