[QUOTE="RivRunR, post: 309707, member: 1928"] I'd put in a fuse panel near the switch panel (if possible), run a single heavy power lead up to the fuse panel, then run leads from the fuse panel to the switches, then to the devices. So it would be like: Battery --- breaker ----fuse panel panel fuse ---- switch --- device panel fuse ---- switch --- device and toss all the wiring that came with the switch, especially since they are jumping leads (and fuses) across devices...(like having the bilge (5 amp) and the 12V socket (10 amp) on the same fuse????) You may want to put the ground buss in the same location as the fuse panel, just to make the wiring easier. edited for this diagram: [ATTACH type="full" alt="Wiring Fuse Panel w Breaker.jpg"]50708._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
