Electrics

Main switches / sockets

Clearly visible are the two 12 Volt primary switches for the Dynostart generator battery and the lighting/services battery. At the top, double mains socket for 220 V shore power.The photo exists of two sides of the panel. Left: exterior of panel. Right: interior 12 Volt switches.

Overview electrics.

On the right of this photograph you can see the starter relay with the current charging regulator next to it (the old one needed replacing).

The rear of the dashboard is also clearly visible in the centre of the picture.Added extra on the instrument panel is the oil pressure gauge (white cover).

Connecting electrical wires

Here I'm connecting all new electrical wires.All cables are replaced by 2.5 mm for low current use and 4, 6 mm to 16 mm for the high current users such as the waterpump, bilgepump, refridgerator etc.The central earth bus bar is still hanging loose. All the negative wires will be connected here.

Electrics Dynastart generator / Greasepot automation

The old cables from the dynamo to the current regulator have been renewed. In the centre of the top photo you see the new grease pot automate. The "propellor shaft' is now greased automatically by the pressure spring. All I need to do now is fill it up from time to time (approx. every 2 or 3 months).

Finishing the switch panel

The switches (10 Amps) are mounted in the front of the panel. Although visible for quick access, they do not obstruct cabin entry or exit. I've added LEDs to each switch.
