I started looking in catalogs for a fuse block. Most were $100-$170. I just happened to be looking thru my Cabelas Marine catalog and came across a fuse block, that accepts ATO fuses, 10 circuit, and a ground buss for $16.99, plus shipping. Ordered it and it s well made and compact. Just an FYI | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 720 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 720 | Bought a 5-circut marine block that looks very much like the 4-circut original in my '56 (that was mashed and not used at all). At a glance I dont think most folks would notice other than it's real clean. Just had one more fuse position and a secondary unfused buss over the fused one. Got it off the shelf at West Marine for around $12. All corrosion resistant metals too.

Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion! :P
