[Rhodes22-list] recommendations for mast electrical wiring routing

[Ric Stott]

Coincidentally - I'm doing exactly the same and I'm almost at the same  
point.
I do have some of the original wiring, but not all and nothing works.
There was a fuse panel just inside the companionway - it was shot.
I bought a new 8 circuit breaker panel and built a mahogany plank for  
it that fits just inside the bulkhead behind the centerboard line -  
I'll put a clear plexi cover on it to keep the spray off it.
I thought about placing the breaker panel above the galley like  
present day versions of the R22, but much of my sketchy wiring leads  
to the companionway bulkhead and I thought extending wiring with  
splices not such a great idea.
I only have one battery and want to install another along with a solar  
panel.
I also want to re-wire the motor so the electric start works.
Lets stay in touch and compare notes/photos.
