I quite like vintage boat electrics (mainly eighties periodd). A decent boat would have a 300 amp hour battery bank and two alternators at most. After that the basics, bilge pump, water supply pump, navigation lights, cabin lights and radio. Very common was an ammeter with a voltmeter.
I like retro so much I collected throway cabin lights from old boats and tested them. They all work. I may use them to preserve the oldness of my boat. I also have some large and very dated DC junction boxes I can use. Snag is it only has 2 stroke outboard drive so no alternator.
