Any electrical engineers on here? - EyLayo - 04-02-2023

I'm wanting to reorganize/ update a switch panel on my boat. I've been doing the 'Tube diy research route so far. Things look fairly straightforward to this point, but I know wiring sometimes can be fouled up by 1 wrong wire. I plan on doing all the work. Wondering if someone in the know would be willing to answer a question or 3, or possibly check my work after complete? Let me know.

Shawn, if you find one, also send him/her my way. I want to make some sort of battery box to power my underwater camera. My current battery only lasts 3 to 3 1/2 hours and they don't sell separate battery-box units.

Try this site, I've gotten parts from them. They can design a panel for you.

Shawn, I don't know what you're wiring in, but most of the stuff I wired to a new box in my old boat was really straight forward I'm sure you'd be able to do easy with your talents, so you must have something more complex in mind... Simple I can help with, but probably not the complex... Let me know what you have in mind and I'd be glad to help if I can.... Jeff

I was a radar technician for 20 years, and a radar systems engineer for 20 more (Weber State BSEET degree).  How can I help?  I'll send you my phone number via PM.
