replacing old wooden dc panel
 

I have made an electrical panel out of "Starboard" material. Cuts and
machines easily with woodworking tools ( you can machine the edge with a
shaper or router).
Sounds like you need to replace all wiring.

Ahoy, I have acquired an older boat with a plywood dc panel. I assume.
this is completely illegal in usa and would like to conform within
reason. I have ok electrical skills and experience. Some of the old
wiring shows wicked voltage drops so I will have to sort that as well.
Any advice from DIYers would be appreciated. Thank you.

I've never heard of plywood being "illegal" to use as an electrical panel in
the United States ...can you substantiate that? Where'd you hear that?

It might be illegal if there is more than 40 volts on any circuit behind the
panel. I think you need an "enclosure."
