Blue Sea Fuse Block

Post by Dutch1 »

Has anyone had any experience with the Blue Sea Fuse blocks? I've been thinking about using on for the wiring on my boat but wanted to see if anyone had any experience with them first.

I have the one just like that but it does not have the neg strip built in. I wanted them separate. I have only had it for two years but I am pleased with it.

I have one in a 1960 Carver Commander restoration. I thought mine was all hots, but
It might have a ground node. Nice product.

I bought a ground bus of the BlueSea brand and it looks very well made but have not installed it yet. A lot of marine hardware shops sell their brand. I use their website articles all the time for reference.

Thanks for the responses everyone! I liked the idea of keeping everything in one piece. I'll post pics once I'm done

Put it in a dry place and think about how easy or hard it is to look at or change a fuse in bad weather or ruff seas!!!

There is a great way to make a cover for it,

I used Blue Sea terminal blocks, fuse blocks, battery switch, etc. There are only a few places I used other than Blue Sea components. They are expensive, but the quality is evident. I would recommend them for sure.
