The fuse block is standard and came with the boat.

I've ran 2 finders for EVER on the boat and only started having problems last year, when I had to replace the armature in the trolling motor.

I KNOW that is the problem, but wanted to try to resolve it before working on a different TM path.

Also, when I put in a completely separate battery just attached to the finder, all the problems are gone. Unfortunately, I don't have room for JUST a batter for the finder.......although, I might figure out a way to put a smaller 12 v gell cell in there, and simply recharge it some other way.............
