Finished the back wall, electric panel, and the side berths

The past two days have been very productive. I managed to finish the heavy work on the back wall, the electric panel, and the two side berths.
Granted, I need to wire in the lights and electronics, but that's just light stuff. Also, I have only just primed the surfaces, so they will need to be painted, and I still need to add some blue/grey primer for the lower trim on the side berths.

For the running lights, only the aft light is incandescent. The others are LED.

Wiring: Interior comfort

On this circuit I will have services that can be worked independently of the cabin lights, so that they can be operated while the lights are turned off. This notably concernes the 12v cigarette lighters (for use as power sources for charging things, powering small electronic appliances), the stereo, the map table light, and the stern cabin light.
