[QUOTE="TNtroller, post: 414046, member: 4251"] IMO, no need for the 30 amp fuse from the battery to the fuse box. Use the appropriate size fuse in the fuse box for each item (bilge, FF, anchor winch) as the FF usually requires just a 3-5 amp, same for bilge, and no idea for a anchor winch. You should wire the TM directly to battery posts using the appropriate size breaker w/in 12-18" of the + battery post. If you have the room in your boat, I would use a size U1 (lawnmower battery $30) to power the FF and bilge, and use a Grp 24/27 for the TM and anchor winch. Most people don't connect the FF and TM to the same battery as interference from the TM can show up on the FF. The U1 could run the anchor winch as well but I've never used one, so others will join in later. [/QUOTE]
