[QUOTE="franner11, post: 250757, member: 4157"] Thanks - I think I understand what y'all are telling me now. I'll draw up a diagram of my plans once it all sinks in... So what I am thinking now is this... Battery 1 + wire to 30amp (or 45amp) circuit breaker to 6 bank fused panel using 6awg on both sides. 6 Bank fused panel contains: Bank 1: 10awg to Bilge Pump Bank 2: 16awg to 360 stern + red/green bow lights on one 3-way toggle switch Bank 3: 16awg to Running lights - 2 LEDs on same switch Bank 4, 5, 6: not used, but available for future expansion All banks running same awg wire to negative bus bar, then bus bar to negative on batter 1 using 6awg. When you say to run my two fish finders to the fuse panel...I don't understand. If you're saying not to have the fish finders on switches because it'll erase any settings etc...are you just saying run them straight to the battery in a circuit with just an inline fuse and not to run to or from the fuse panel at all? I don't have any other fuse block...so I guess that's what's confusing me... [/QUOTE]
