Rewiring Project - '50 41' DCFB

[campjer]

I'm putting in the 1st of new wires right now. Long time coming! Glad I made this post as I inadvertently saved over my original design files for the 110v system (thankfully my detailed 12v plans are in tact!!!)

Brand new transom and substructure should be complete - or 90% complete by end of week. Haven't lost my mind yet.

Sounds good Jeremy. Post and update with some pics please.
I made good progress on my window frame and then stalled out a bit as life and other things took over. But going to get back out there this weekend and get back at it.

Jeremy,

Hope all is going well. It was great seeing you and Patrick. Well, I got lucky and scored a Blue Sea 8086 Panel, same as yours, so just going back and reading through everything again. I like your layout and will probably be doing more or less the same electrical plan. In any case, hope to see you again come Thanksgiving. Till then, take care and get that Transom on already, the old girl is missing her skirt!

Jeremy,

just reading through what you wrote in terms of the AC outlets. Someone please correct me if I am wrong here, but at least in home applications, you can run 1 GFCI outlet and then 3 standard outlets after that in the line and all 4 outlets will be GFCI protected. Therefore, instead of buying 15 GFCI's, you could buy just one for each circuit, or 5 give or take.

I don't know if high humidity levels in a cruiser would (or should) affect the ground fault current level enough to cause false tripping on these or not. If it did, just change the standard ones to GFI's. Go back and change the thru-feed to a hot connection though. No loss (except time) and you might save a bunch if thru-feed works.
