Looks a lot tidier. Did you decide to do without one radio?
Still the bottom hole - anything planned for there?
Does the big white breaker (if that's what it is) do the windlass or something?
Your boaty outline (with the leds) looks nicer than mine.

Re: New Switchboard
I've taken out the old non-DSC Icom (no sensible offer refused!). The "big bottom hole" is actually a handy locker once I've tidied the wires. The white switch is a 100A breaker for the anchor winch. The panel is an acrylic sheet with an ink-jet transfer on the back so nicking a boat outline was easy.
As always, I would do it a bit differently the next time but the old one lasted 32 years so I may have forgotten by the time it's needed.

Re: New Switchboard
Geoff, it looks like your ammeter only shows discharge by any device downstream from the panel and ignores charging current. If there is a 50u- 0- 50u meter available in that physical size, you could measure across a common negative lead and calibrate with a wee preset pot behind the meter.( or spend lots and buy a real shunt, but it's two more gratuitous connections)
