GONZO my 1982 Freedom 25 sailboat

GONZO my Freedom 25 yacht:
This blog will document the continued restoration of my 1982 Freedom 25 sailboat, along with all the experiences I have. I purchased my F25 in the winter of 2009 from the 3rd owner who had the boat in NH. Gonzo has a composite rotating winged mast, yanmar inboard diesel, a Gun Mount spinnaker pole and staysail. This is my 1st cruising sailboat and I look forward to learning how to maintain and slowly restore and sail in Narraganset.

Electrical work:




After working on the F25 I have noticed the overwhelming amount of wiring for such a simple boat, their was a lot of wires just spliced together with no organization at all. No wires had gromets for going through holes, and their was holes cut in finished panels to cut corners. I feel this boat should have a simple electrical system well layed out and easy to work on, every electrical part should have good ground and simple clean power source. I intend to draw up an electrical diagram for the boat and upgrade the fuse panel and all the wiring.
I have started by removing the existing fuse panel pictured below:
