>>2743480The only thing you mentioned that's actually worthy of taking time is having to rewire the mast and that's still not that hard a task so long as you don't need to take the mast down which you usually don't.
>removing internal panelling and replacingNot hard, in fact much easier than in a house since you are just popping pins and screws, most wiring is just running in the back of cupboards and such anyway so the likelihood of actually having to remove any panels is low. I removed all of two when I redid my boat.
>planning a system that isn't unsafe or underpowered and knowing how to do it with correct wire and fuse sizesThis is electrical knowledge that I learned in school when I was like 14 m8, if you can't figure how to put together a basic DC system after watching a few good youtube videos you again might be terminally retarded. This is REALLY simple stuff.
>>building a contraption to slide out a solar powered cooler/fridge from a cupboardYou know they sell adjustable sliders for your fridge right, you just screw them to the sides of the cupboard, click the fridge on them and plug it into the power. It's like a half hour job max...
>buying all the components that are sometimes sold out for the seasonNigger, WHAT? This isn't the 1980s anymore bro, you arent boned when the local chandlery runs out of tinned wire. You can hop on the internet and order that shit anytime. The only thing you might run into trouble are super specific niche marine things like engine electronics but even then all the big dealers like yanmar and co will ship parts out to you whenever.
