Thanks Paul!!! I might end up adding an additional panel (subpanel). Just need to figure out how to do it.

Thanks!!!. I just thought one can use some kind of marine thermal circuit breaker connected to one of the battery bank and connect the S2000 autopilot's cables from there. I guess will need to deal with that bunch of entangled wires in the distribution panel.

Hi I tried to connect the electrical cables that connect to the Raymarine S2000 autopilot’s connector to the DC distribution panel of my CD25D. But I could not figure out how to do it.

Thanks again for the suggestions. Will let you know which method worked when fixed.

Thanks . Will try all suggestions provided.

Thanks in advance

Hi John
Thanks for photos.
Much appreciated.
Carlos

Ok John, will wait for the photos. I like your dodger design a lot, doesn't take much space, and will look good on Juno.
Thanks
Carlos

Hi again John
Looking at the pictures of the dodger, how do you hold it still on top of the companionway while navigating??? Is it screwed to the wood???

I would appreciate it your response
