I have Panasonics on a couple Yachts. The only place I could put it was a very tight spot in the electrical crawl space. It better not get wet or damp there! Haven't had any problems. We service them when there in Ft. Lauderdale and blocks seem fine. It's been 2 or 3 years. If it's a 200' Yacht, they should have a place that won't get wet unless in sinks. Then you sell them another one.

I don't think I would use punch blocks at all. I'd use gel filled beans and hardwire it. A vessel that size should have someplace inside that is relatively safe from the harsh environment for the equipment, probably along with the satellite receiver and home theater electronics.
