This thesis aims to prove the concept of replacing traditional electrical cabinets with PCBs on a fully electric boat. The existing solution with two electrical cabinets is considered expensive and believed to be replacable by PCBs. Means of protections for PCBs are evaluated with regard to moisture, salt and vibrations. Two PCBs are designed to carry a current up to 60 ampere for a longer period of time. A cost analysis of 1, 10 and 100 PCBs are made to compare the cost of the proposed design to the existing solution. The result is a functioning prototype, a proposed design, cost analysis and suggested means of protections for withstanding the elements that the PCBs are exposed to at sea.Verification of the design is done by PDN Analysis and load testing with thermal imaging to monitor the temperature rise. Soley this is not enough to fully validate the design as further tests are needed and the local juristrictions has to be met before implementing these PCBs in consumer equipment.
