Hi guys! I need to put a new fuse panel on my 1988 bluefin sportsman 19’ and I’m trying to figure out what amps I need to get in order to replace it. Is there any way you can tell me what size fuses I need? Thank you!

Pull fuses out one by one and read what is stamped on the fuse

I was stupid and took the fuses out before I realized that this picture wasn’t the best and now I’m not sure what goes where

Now you need ro backtrack each wire as to where it goes....depending on what it powers will determine what size fuse you will need !! No easy way to sort it out....When I take things apart, I have a marker and tape handy to everything gets labeled, I have learned that the hard way....many times...

From the picture you should be able to tell which fuse goes where by the size of the internal fuse wire.

He said he took them out without noting their position and doesn't know where each one went. Knowing what size wont do any good unless he knows where it went..

Good point, I can zone in on the pic and can see the differences in the fuses filaments
