I am needing to replace my fuse block on my 1987 Bass Tracker TX-17. I was looking at the the SeaChoice 10 Gang here on iboats.com. My question is: It says 30amps @ 12 V DC, is that 30 amps max for each circuit or is that a max of 30amps for the whole fuse block? I have seen others that say ??amps per circuit with a max of 65 amps for the fuse block. Just trying to make sure I get the right thing for my needs. Thanks!

It's 30 amps/circuit, odd that it doesn't have a total rating for the entire block.

I'd look into a Blue Seas fuse block as SeaChoice isn't known to be a high quality manufacturer.

That's the total for the panel and each circuit. Not to fret, though. Think about the circuit breaker panel in your house. You may have a 200 amp service, but if you add up the amperage of all the individual breakers, it is likely more than 200, possibly much more. That's not a problem because because you never use a total of 200 amps at once. Same principle applies to your boat.
