With the walls and floor painted and the last panel fitted and varnished in the laundry closet, next I dug into the wiring.
Time to wire the laundry closet sub-panel
I ran the 8/4 supply cable a few weeks ago in the article about heading back into the aft stateroom.
Running 10/3 marine cable for the 240v dryer outlet and 12/3 for the air conditioner
Next, run 14/3 cable for the 120v washer outlet
I’m also doing a run of 14/3 from this sub-panel to the transom for outlets near the bed.
Draft-proof boxes should make the boat easier to keep warm or cool
Outlets are installed and holes are cut for the hot and cold washer spigots
I’m waiting for some Pex hose parts to show up, then I’ll install the water lines.
The top panel ‘clicks’ in place…nice fit!
Too pretty to be hidden behind a washer/dryer!
Good lookin’ laundry closet
That’s almost a wrap for the laundry closet. While I wait for the Pex parts to show up, I’ll get busy on the storage closet to the left.

Great job!
Can’t tell for sure but it looks like there’s a green bond wire on your Neutral block.
Bonds should only go to the box frame or bonding bar(some call it aground bar).
On a sub-panel there should be NO connection between the neutral and the box frame – it’s a safety issue
Keep up the good work.
Thanks Pat. I appreciate your comment. Sorry it’s taken me so long to get back to you.
I’m curious if your position would change if consideration was given to the fact that this boat has an isolation transformer? My understanding is that a ground in land and non-isolated AC systems is to ensure a copper path back to the source should the supply and neutral fail or short. With an isolation transformer, there’s no physical connection to the land-based AC point of origin. The transformer is the point of origin for onboard AC power, but a shorted out appliance case still needs that copper path back to origin. Which is why I tied the ground and neutrals together at the breaker box. Have I got it wrong?
Thx
