WOW, I haven't been an iboater for too many season now and the Fuse Circuit Breaker issue rises its head again... I contemplate that same quagmire myself because it is getting time to settle on one or the other to manufacture my panel plates shortly. I've research both 'til I'm tired of reading about them now and I see it as a coin toss. Fuses can get dissimilar corrosion with them but are better at blowing at their specified rating. Circuit Breakers are only listed as a possible breaking value. Circuit breakers can break at much higher then listed amperages. It all depends on the manufacture's tolerances for those break points and where they are used. And Circuit Breakers also get corrosion in them over time. However, fuse are a one time event and then need to be changed...DUH! Circuit Breakers can easily be reset. But after a few times resetting breakers they can change their break values as well. I may go with fuses and here is my opinion with them. You get good screw in fuse holders, they have a water tight seal and therefore protect them somewhat from corrosion. But make very sure you carry every size on you panel for spares. A lot of folks don't and when one blows they put a higher value one in its place. That IS asking for serious problems down the road for certain. It usually is a "I'll use this higher fuse rating now to get in but change it afterwards" scenario. But too many time we forget. If you are conscience of such, fuses are the better. If not, go circuit breakers and replace as needed. Both have great points and not so great points...hence a coin toss!
