My son is rebuilding the electric panel on his Columbia 35. My job is to design and build the door panel with the Circuit breakers and fuses. Now that the dimensions have been established, the door can be constructed. A teak frame has been built which provides room for a 14 1/4" x 14 1/4" face. My Son, Pete, has decided on 20 CBs plus a 30A Main CB and 8 fuse and switch combos. Working on a piece of oaktag I design a full scale mockup fitting the CBs and Fuses along with an automatic bilge pump control and room for a Link 10 system. The lighter attachment is the layout on the oaktag and the blue attachment shows the Plastic sheet, polystyrene, covered completely with blue tape. The layout lines for all the holes to be drilled are transferred to the blue tape. Now the drilling begins. I'll post photos as the project progresses.
