Replacing fuse block...again.

Hi folks,

The fuse block behind the instrument has coroded again.

Is there a preferred fuseblock, maybe with a cover or some other design, that you all like to aviod this issue?

Thanks,

It would be helpful if you explained what style of fuse panel you used last, what type of boat this is going into and whether you run in fresh or salt water.

OK, sorry.

This is my first year with the boat. I do believe it was used occasionally on salt water.

The block style in it at the moment is basically this:

The boat style is a 14 foot center console, aluminum runabout with 20 hp on the stern.

You would be much better off with one like this that uses regular auto style blade fuses and has a cover.

Blue Sea Systems makes a good fuse block with a cover. http://bluesea.com/category/5/21/productline/126
The also make a nice water resistant switch panel that is fused. http://bluesea.com/category/5/20/productline/119

In addition to the good quality of their parts, their customer service is very good as well
