    Solar panel wiring questions

    Unless you install several high wattage panels and they're mounted perfectly you will unlikely need to be concerned about over charging. Sounds like you have a large amount of battery capacity. Read about solar charge controllers.

    Glass Fuse Amp?

    "What amp was the glass fuse? Icannotfind the one I took out." I don't mean to be a smart ass but if you don't know how are we supposed to know? Get an amp meter and put in series to measure the current while starting. Most meters only read up to 10 amps, you'll need one to measure 30ish to...
