That often works well. Phil Bolger once wrote about the difference in
the reception you get when you show up in a classy rowing boat (he had
in mind a pretty lapstrake wherry) versus some nondescript mass-produced
clorox bottle. I've noticed it myself... although the best way to get
invited in where you aren't really wanted is to show up with a pretty
girl and stand slightly behind her. It works after eleven years of
marriage too, and I don't have to prompt her at all

She found a sponsor for me in less than 10 minutes.

scary and something to treat carefully. I've even considered
moving the whole panel to a drier location centered, in the aft
cabin.

Dunno, never had much problem with water getting into the power panel,
unless it was by way of deck leaks, or simply the long term effects of
humidity & poor boat care. High amp loads, even at twelve volts, no air
circulation, a little corrosion, and minimal wiring specs are a recipe
for disaster.

There is a port light above it which could potentially leak. Also a chain
plate on the adjacent bulkhead.
