[QUOTE="franner11, post: 255639, member: 4157"] Thanks RivRunR! Yes, the fuse panel came equipped with 12 awg as the main feed like the #1 circled in your diagram. I think the total amp draw of the entire panel would be around 13 amps max: Fish Finder 1 = .5-1 Amp Fish finder 2 = .5-1 Amp Cigarette Lighter = 3-4 Amps Bilge = 2-3 Amps Nav Lights = 1-2 Amps Courtesy Lights = 1-2 Amps The length of the run one way from the Bat 1 circuit breaker would be around 8-10 feet max. Am I correct in saying 12 awg should be OK to use? The chart seems to say yes: 15-20 amps running 8-12 feet should be ok with 12 awg...but if I have to double that one way run, it'd be 16-20 feet, which looks like it requires 10 or 8 awg.... If I can't switch out the 12 awg on the panel (which I don't think I could do), what are my options? Thanks again! Fran [/QUOTE]
