I have an old 1974 BMC Runabout that I have to rewire due to the previous owners incompetenance. Used automotive wiring vice tinned Marine grade. When I pulled the small 4-1/2" x 18" dash panel everything behind was a rats nest running to only two 1.5 amp fuses. (Nav. lights, bilge pump, horn, search light, etc) through one 18 guage hot wire and negative wire. Except for the wiring harness to the 105 HP Chrysler Outboard.
I would like to install Illuminated Rocker Switches for each accessory separately instead of running all the hot leads to one wire as my predicessor did. Then I'd like to have the rocker switches go through a fuse panel with blade-type fuses.
How do I wire my fuse panel to my 10 guage positive and negative wires going to the battery?

Re: Installing Fuse Block

You may find the wire diagram that I drew up for my boat helpful on my website, I have also listed fuse sizes and wire sizes.
