I am installing a marcum LX-3 sonar flasher in my boat and was wondering what size in-line fuse I should install. The current draw of the unit is 300-350 mA. The smallest fuse that I have found so far is 1 amp. Would that be ok or should I try to find a lower amp rated fuse?


Thanks

Ahoy, matey.

Welcome to iboats. :)

The 1amp fuse should do well, bugman. Many of those devices use 3 amp fuses. The idea is to protect the device fom a severe short, not necessarily any overcurrent.
