[Interior view, electrical panels]

Interior view, electrical panels. The DC and AC panels are somewhat mediocre. The DC panel doesn't have enough breakers, and the wiring is not very robust. There are a number of additional DC circuits that run off of fuse blocks inside the wiring chase; access is difficult. The AC panel has a 100A meter, despite the fact that the AC service is only 30A. Plus the meter scale is nonlinear, so most AC loads barely budge the ammeter. In the lower-right corner, above the papers, is the water tank gauge, which still works well. Above it, but out of sight behind the fan, is the fuel gauge, which doesn't work (I dip the tank with a sounding rod). Between the cell phone and the Plastimo compass is the 150A circuit breaker for the windlass.
