3607 lower station fuse door
Posted: June 26th, 2018, 3:16 pm
I've been reworking some of the stock power on my 3607. There is a main "salon" breaker and lead going to a strip of push-on connectors under the lower station. You have to remove 8 screws to get the panel off. All the lower station electronics tie into this panel, some with their own in-line fusing. There is also a parallel negative buss for grounds.
So I'm installing a fuse panel to split up the loads and also get rid of the push-on connectors, as they get unreliable with even slight corrosion. I bought an identical panel to put up on the bridge as well (and that is wired similarly)
For access to it, I decided to cut the panel and put in a sliding door so you have easy access to the fuses. I'm not done with the wiring part yet, but have moved over a couple circuits to clean up some of the wiring.
I carefully cut out the door from the panel. When I trimmed out the opening, I could still use the peice I cut out so the grain matches exactly when the door is closed.
Here's a couple pics:
