    Fuse Panel Conversion

    I've decided to rewire our f/s and would like to know if anyone could tell me where to get a good fuse panel. I'm looking to convert to the automotive style panel with the plug-in type fuse instead of the old glass buss fuses. Seems like it would be a stock item at boat or automotive stores, but both places that I checked would have to order this item. Tired of the old loose female quick-disconnects that seem to jiggle loose. It never fails. I'll check all the gauges and lights and such before we leave for a long fishing trip and then end up spending the last half hour or more before dark trying to get everything working again. Just ready to go to the lake and know that when it gets dark, all I have to do is flip a switch. Tired of pulling and checking fuses and jiggling the connectors to get lights. Any help/suggestions appreciated. CJ.

    Check Bass Pro shop, they should have what your looking for...Even Cabela's...Might even have to order it, but in the long run it will be worth the wait to get the right one for the job......

    Instead of fuses, have you thought of looking into a circuit break panel? If something blows, push the breaker back in and go.

    Re: Fuse Panel Conversion

    Are the circuit break panels customizable? Some of the accessories, one of the depthfinders for example, are rated for really low amps. Are they like a house panel? Can I put the size breaker I need into the slots or am I still gonna need in-lines to handle the low amperage accessories? Thanks for the advice.
