[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 250764, member: 3438"] On the FF's you can run them on their own circuit back to the battery, or from the panel power bus/grounding bar. As long as the inline fuse is within 6-7" of the + connection, it will be fine. For saving on wire, you might run one from the panel + and the other right to the battery. Also, 10ga seems quite large for a bilge pump, but don't know the current draw and distance for yours. My Rule 500gph is only 1.9A draw, and recommended fused at 2.5A. IMHO, if you have the switches, use them. If you need to change in the future, then you have the options of taking the cig lighter and ff off the panel switches. I thought you were trying to get the panel size down or were short switches. [/QUOTE]
