The Panel That Will Power Our Entire Catamaran (MJ Sailing - Episode 374)

This one cabinet will eventually power our entire catamaran. Last episode we installed our two Victron MultiPlus II units, officially kicking off the installation of our electrical system. Now we’re moving on to the cabinet where all of our breakers will live — the place that will ultimately distribute power to every major system on board. And there are a lot of them. Matt has spent years planning out this system, carefully considering not only what each breaker will power, but also where each one should be placed so the panel is logical and easy to use once we’re living aboard full time. In this episode we start laying out and installing the breakers that will eventually control everything from lighting and navigation electronics to pumps and onboard systems. It’s one more step toward bringing the electrical system to life. We also want to give a huge thank you to everyone who purchased wire from our Amazon wish list. Your support helps keep this project moving forward, and we’re incredibly grateful to have such an amazing community behind us as we build this boat. We’re already working on the next round of projects for the boat, and while they’re not quite ready to show yet, they’re well underway and will be coming in the next episode. Subscribe to follow along as we continue building our performance cruising catamaran from the ground up. The next stage of the build will involve running a lot of wire throughout the boat. If you’d like to help support that part of the project, we’ve added many of the cables and supplies we need to our Amazon wishlist: Amazon Wishlist https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2B2BOYEH9THAH/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_1 Thank you for following along with the build!
