Complicated? Yeah I guess. Three phase 480 and 240, plus 120 volts then 12 and 24 volt charging systems. In 2004, the then skipper told me the electrical system on the vessel was regionally legendarily famous for reliability. The outside lighting and electric engine control stations suffered no corrosion problems - not even on the flying bridge. The mast lighting was soldered, HIM heat shrinked and then capped with hot tar. I did not screw around.
Mex... Sounds like you know how to do the job right. That is some project, Well done.
Now. Get your ham Ticket (if you do not already have one) and put up a completely weatherproofed antenna.
