    Starboard

    I'm looking to clean up the wiring on the battery in my boat, looking for a material to use for a panel to put the buss bars and main cutoff switch on. Anyone used starboard or any other material for something similar?

    I used PT plywood and painted it black It was much easier to use than starboard and I had it.

    I used plywood that I coated in resin and then painted.

    David if you decide to use starboard I may have some scrap pieces big enough for you to use.

    I used starboard in my last two boats to make all my switch, fuse, and support panels. 1/2” and 3/4” in black... really works nice for the custom touch. Routers, cuts, drills, and holds a screw very well.
