[QUOTE="gnappi, post: 466541, member: 22374"] If the OP is just talking only LED lights, no bilge pump, horn, radio or any other higher current drain stuff,then a 5A is overkill for most LED's like running lights. OP, if you can return that panel, this 6 gang model (available on Feebay) will simplify your issue, and the circuit breakers (IIRC they're 10A) can be changed for lower or higher current if needed. https://ibb.co/hHSpygw Main wire to the fuse panel I'd use 10ga OFC wire, and out to everything else, 12Ga, it will easily handle 80 watt light bars, again OFC. Avoid CCA wire if you can. [/QUOTE]
