Does anyone have them? I'm having a hard time locating them. I think I'm going to use a fuse panel, so I don't want fuses in my switch panel. I'm going to have some devices not on a switch, so I think it would look cleaner to use a switch panel and fuse panel with a (-) busbar and avoid the inline fuses. I could probably make one, but would rather buy one.

Thanks!

In my view that's the best way to do it but just because a switch panel has fuses, does not mean you can't use a separate fuse panel for unswitched (or switched) accessories. You can assign the most important accessories to the switch panel so the fuses are handy. Less important stuff can be fused at the fuse panel.

Silvertip, I realize I could do that and I may end up doing that. In my mind I thought I could save a few bucks purchaing a switch panel without fuses...my mind is often incorrect though.

Mark 1905, I have not looked at that site. I'm new to this stuff, so I'm not sure what all sites to look at. But I will give that one a look.
Thanks

Ya man...I do. Just said I could not locate any. Didn't say where do I start my search.

Don:

Doesn't I-Boats price match? I generally try to give I-Boats a fair shake (unless I need it right away or it is a single small dollar item.) In all fairness, I try to spread my business around between the people who help me (local companies with local hands-on help and advice vs. internet companies with really great web sites [translation = I-Boats]). Unfortunately for you (and fortunately for me), I am a small customer with a limited budget, so nobody is getting rich off of me.

Cstallings (and others):

In my opinion, as long as you let I-Boats try to match, nobody has a right to complain.

I go through I-boats most of the time. The killer is shipping sometimes. If one small part comes from one warehouse, and another from a different warehouse, you get whacked with shipping twice.....
