How do you get to the back of the AC / DC distribution panel that's located in the wall just aft of the dinette?

Its very easy and its kind of hinged on the bottom not really a true hinge but if you'll Remove all screws around the panel except the 4 in the bottom middle. The ones on the outside bottom corners have to come out. Then it will tilt out from the top.

Wow. Thank you very much. Now I'm looking forward to trying it. My plan is to put a small light in the cabinet and also set up a 12v receptacle near the panel to access power to run / test various equipment used on the boat. Thanks again!

You bet. Both the light and 12v power access will be handy
