Anyone Fancy Spaghetti?

Ok, so we have decided to fit a woodburning stove into our boat.  We have thought long and hard about whether to fit one and, if so, where would it go.  We didn't want to lose seating space in the saloon so the only option really is to remove the chart table and cupboard and build a hearth in its place.  I am a fan of paper charts.  They aren't reliant on fancy electronics, power supplies and software updates and so, to me, losing the chart table is a big decision.  However, I can always use the saloon table to do chartwork and perhaps I should grasp the nettle and buy myself some decent software for use on a laptop as my primary means of navigation.

However, it's not only the table that presents a problem.  The instrumentation is mounted on the bulkhead in front of the table and the electrical switch panel is next to it.  So all of this needs to be relocated.

I think I might be able to leave the switch panel in situ and protect it with a fireproof bulkhead, but the electronic displays need to be moved.  I have started to tackle the spaghetti of wiring behind the panel making sure all wires are labelled as they are diconnected.  I plan to pull the wiring through and build a new display panel on the side wall.  But should I keep all the instruments.  Is Navtex worth keeping? and the chart plotter is pretty dated now, particularly if I'm going down the route of using a laptop.  Any advice gratefully received.

More wiring tomorrow.....and oh yes, how to choose the right stove?
