Power Up!

The remaining parts to finish hooking up the breaker panel arrived today, so I was able to wire it up and reinstall the panel.  I also installed a new wire for the strobe light, in hopes that I can quiet some of the EM noise in the intercom.  Since the radios aren’t in their racks, this is a bit hard to test right now, so I’m still hopeful :).  Almost everything powered up, with the exception of the starter/cigarette lighter circuit, which trips immediately.  So I’ll have to pull the panel back off tomorrow morning and try to figure out where the short is occurring.  As you can see, I also have to do some more work securing the wire bundle running across the left side of the panel.
