I want to buy a new switch panel that will have the fuses in the panel. Do I still need the neg and pos bus bars to hook up the lights, livewell, etc. OR do I just hook up to the fuses on the switch panel? thank for all help.
You should install a negative bus, and, depending on the switch panel, a positive bus also. A member recently posted a picture of his switch panel that daisy-chained the positive leads with 16 gauge wire, which severely limits the total current capacity of the entire array.
