[QUOTE="PsychoXP18CC, post: 382830, member: 11641"] You'll want to add up the amp draw for each item, and pull a wire that will handle the total amp load to power the switch panel. I would install a fuse at the battery end of that wire as a first/last measure of safety. Then each circuit would power the individual loads from the switch panel, each fused in the panel or just downstream of the panel if it doesn't have fuses. A ground buss would help keep things orderly, install it with the same size wire as the load's respective hot wire, and the main ground wire should be the same size as the main hot wire. [/QUOTE]
