Help, I was working on the boat this weekend when I discovered that my entire electrical panel fell off and was just hanging by the wires. So, this is a two part question. I want to reattach the wood board to the fiberglass and was wondering what is the best epoxy or glue which can be used to reattach the electrical panel. Hardware stores are my only option around here. Secondly, Is there a general schematic for how the wiring is organized. I have wires going everywhere and it appears to be a daunting task for me to figure out. Thanks for any suggestions.
