Boats here, don't do well with ANY electrical stuff permanently installed.
Salt water is he11 on EVERYTHING electrical!
I 100% disagree.
I completely rewired my 1985 Mako 21B from bow to stern and installed a brand new 200 Merc plus added a custom T top full of electronics. Every inch of wire was tinned marine grade and every termination was adhesive lined and the posts were sprayed down with Corrosion X. All switch and gauge panels were custom made by me using the best materials I could find. The battery charger was marine grade and none of it gave me a stitch of trouble. That was replaced with a 27' BW that had some very minor issues on the factory wiring harness that was easily repaired. I then started upgrading electronics and added a Charles 3 bank charger/maintainer along with a lot of other goodies including some 110VAC stuff. Took the same route on wire, terminations and buss bars. It remained flawless while I owned it for 9 years. In fact it sold at full asking sight unseen outside of pictures and a couple of videos.
To me, it's all about the details.
