Here are some pictures of electronics that I completed
earlier this year.
DC Board
The DC board controls the pilot lamps and digital meters on the
DC panel. It also scales and filters the signals from the Hall
Effect current sensors and the water level sensors so they
display properly on the meters. There are a couple of pictures
of the water level sensor and meter in action. I'm going to
fit probes in the fresh and black water tanks to monitor the
fluid levels.

Helm Board
The helm board controls the pilot lamps and Nav. alarm on the
helm panel, and the hour meter and blower lamp on the
ignition panel. It also powers the engine and fuel gauges and
compass to be mounded at the helm.
Maybe I'm going overboard on the electronics, but
that's part of the sheer fun of the project. Next, I
build the the helm box and wire all this stuff together.
I'm planning to start the hull next spring. Stay tuned
for updates.
