Default A strange but effective helm wiring project (on my new NorthRiver boat).

They don't appear to be covered so not so sure about them. I finished
my wiring today and it's all done. Final photo on my website if you're
interested.

Looks nice.
What I like about your circuit box is that it looks like you can just
tuck it in and tie it down somewhere, then pull it out and put it in
your lap to make changes or pull fuses, assuming you've left slack in
the wires.
Lot has to do with philosophy about such things.
Being a maintenance and modification type guy, I don't like components
buried and hard to get at.
Guess that's why I'm inclined to "open hull" boats without a lot of
stuff covered up by "non-removable" decoration or cabinetry.
Like the Carolina Skiff or the Mac 26.
Your circuit box fits in with that. *Very utilitarian.
Reminds me of how older cars/trucks were easier to work on compared to
the new stuff.

Vic, there is enough wire to lift the "salad bowl" out from that
storage spot and sit it on my knee to add a circuit or change a fuse
or whatever. So while it isn't so high tech looking, it is very
utilitarian as you say. Utilitarian. That sounds like a religion...
