Nothing wrong with Paneltronics, I just could never find them on FleaBay. 
BlueSeas has *lighted* labels that I really like. I can’t recall if the others 
do.

I used Paneltronics, at least equal quality to Blue Seas. Customer service was 
excellent too, and will make up a custom panel as well for little extra cost. I 
asked a few questions before the panel was delivered and they gave me very 
accurate an rapid answers. I had such good service I will use them from now on. 
I am sure they use the same breakers as Blue Seas as I doubt either one makes 
there own. Panel thickness was very good, and wiring was neatly run.

In response to one of your queries below: I like circuit breakers for both AC 
and DC; I like Blue Sea Systems; and I do not like panels that combine AC and 
DC.  I replaced the original fuse panel on my 34 with two BSS DC circuit 
breaker panels (one relatively large, and the second because I needed more 
breakers).  To get them to fit in the old fuse panel configuration, I had a 
fabricating shop make an aluminum frame the same size as the old panel (about 
$50), with cut-outs for installing the BSS panels.  I then sent the aluminum 
frame to BSS, and they painted or powder-coated it (or whatever they do) so 
that it matched their panels ? and they did this for free because I was using 
their circuit breaker panels.  I also replaced the clunky old AC breaker box 
with a small BSS circuit breaker with polarity indicator.  I also installed a 
BSS switch that keeps the house and engine batteries separate but can cross 
connect in the event of a problem with the engine battery.  Great sys!
 tem, which I?m considering for my ?new? boat (a 42).

So, the old girl came off the hard, has a new electric motor and is now going 
to get new cabin wiring.



I have been reading about bonding, grounding, panels, etc. and my head is 
spinning, so thought I ?d turn to the list for some collective wisdom



Here?s a few:



What sort of panels do people recommend?  The spread is for a couple hundred 
bucks for a fuse panel to well over a grand for a combined AC/DC Blue Seas baby.



I am removing the old combined AC/DC panel above the companionway with one 6 
gang panel in the cockpit and a 12 position plus 3 AC at the Nav Station.



SHORE POWER



Ok, so who is using an isolation transformer?



Do you connect the DC Negative at the battery with the AC ground on your 
incoming?



BONDING/LIGHTNING PROTECTION



Who connects all the rig, prop shaft and keel in one electrical bundle also 
connected with battery ground?  Has anyone ever considered bonding the aluminum 
toe rails?



RFI shielding



What do you guys do to reduce RFI cross talk?



That?s it for now.



This will be a simple boat, VHF, GPS Simrad WP30 Wheelpilot and Standard 
Instruments.  The power supply for the electric motor was done already by a 
marine electrical guy and works extremely well.



Suggestions?



Let ?er roll!
