Re: New helm panel
Thanks! Yes fully dimmable. They utilize a blue seas dimmer module.. working on finalizing the gauge panel and the AC DC panel now

Re: New helm panel
Ok, that really raises the bar. I thought my new led ceiling lights with touch control were pretty cool. Very nice.
Our ancient A25 is quite cobbled together and I’m not quite done cobbling. The next guy will have to make it pretty.

Re: New helm panel
Looks great! You're really upping the game. Are those circuit breaker protected or fused?

Re: New helm panel
They are circuit breaker protected buttons by Bluewater Gadgets. The circuit protection is also switchable by the press of a button in the event you want to run something more powerful off of the same switch. In the event one fails you don’t need to unhook any wiring. You can just change out the switch body by popping it out. Pretty cool technology

Re: New helm panel
I don’t even want to admit how many hours I have into it. And phone calls, and support from Facebook groups and forums, and Mack boring. Lots of head scratching and a few lost nights of sleep. I’m not complaining, I love this kind of stuff but it was a bit daunting and I learned lots.
