[QUOTE="Douglasdzaster, post: 493846, member: 27803"] Got it. They wire these switch panels with one 15 amp fuse going to 2 switches and either the voltage meter on one the phone charger on another the 3rd fuse is cigarette charger. That’s three things on one 15amp inline fuse. I’ll be trashing those and the jumpers and run each switch to the fuse box and put the volt meter , phone charger , and cigarette charger on one circuit. Which the main thing I’ll use is the volt meter. I still have a problem. I have know way of knowing the wattage of the two old led flood lamps on the stern ( they came with the boat) I can’t calculate the amps without it. I’m running 14awg. One about 5’ the other 3’ and want to put them both on the same circuit. Just don’t know what size fuse I need. I used them before loading in the dark. But they went straight to the battery which had a 15amp fuse. I hate to replace them . Is there a way I could tell how many amps or watts with my multimeter? [/QUOTE]
