The galley project is on hold until I receive the bolts for the seacocks. Cant beleive I paid 60 box for 15 bronze bolts, washers and nuts. Can't close the sink cabinet until the new seacock is bolted. Then counter laminate, fiddles faucets and sink will go in.
I decided to tackle the electric panel before it gets too hot to work inside the boat. The wiring and switches are ready to go in. I have to build 3 panels and started by designing the panels. I have everything ready however I have not found a suitable material to make the panels with. I dont like the black engraving plastic. I may be the quickest and cheapest but looks dated. I have found a company that will CNC and engrave the panels, however after submiting for prices, i could buy new Blue Sea panels loaded cheaper. So, I have access to a vinyl machine and losts of spare time. I am looking for material to make it out of. I guess aluminum is used now. And black is no longer cool. It looks like a dark bronze is the deal. If any of you know what I need or where to find it, let me know. Sudgestions are welcomed.
The large panel will open on a hinge on the original location. Shelf above was removed to allow for a larger panel.
Main switch panel goes on the companionway area, above the stairs.
Thanks
