It may not apply to your boat but still worth a look. Check out http://www.seawardproducts.com they made most of the Catalina panels over the years and you may be able to do what you want much more simply by using something already engineered.
FWIW I'm looking at the electric panel ac/dc and the engine panel and harness for my new boat as it is in need of some electric upgrades and this looks to be the path of least resistance.

I am also adding a bigger battery charger. It was my plan to replace the unit with a new box and add two circuit breakers. One for the main (20A) and another for the battery charger(15A). Do I feed the A/C in through the 20A then pass through to the 15A or can I wire both together off the same inline feed, thus allowing interal outlets to be off while the charger is on. Any thoughts ?
