I’m using the original C&C 37+ DC panel (with breakers behind), but I moved my AC wiring up to where there was less moisture and relocated my battery switch from the floor. Both the AC panel and battery switches are Blue Seas, which I can’t recommend enough.
Here is a photo of the current (no pun intended) setup on my boat: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15162917/ENTERPRISE/Electrics2017.jpg <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15162917/ENTERPRISE/Electrics2017.jpg> All the best, Edd Edd M.
