Over the years my assortment of electrics has grown into a mass of spaghetti and I'm thinking of tidying it all up. I have a circuit for the masthead, another for lower nav/steaming and a third for lower nav only in case the masthead fails. My crew is unwilling to ascend to the top of the mast in the dark - the wimp. A complicated system of switches prevents the boat from being accidently lit up like a Christmas tree.
What I am wondering is whether I can just use three switches on a new enlarged switch panel and prevent more than one circuit being on at the same time by use of an SPNC relay and a diode. I've looked through the Maplins WEB site but am baffled by the array of mechandise. I would welcome advise on what kit I need. I think that there was some chat on this a while ago or an article in the PBO but I I'm afraid that I can't find it.
