In-line not online

It would not surprise me if it does not have a fuse box. If you ever need to do some rewiring, adding one makes things neater and life a little easier down the road.

Usually, it's somewhere under the console, sometimes on the side of the hull, sometimes on the opposite side, sometimes up behind the dashboard. It's probably there.

But many of them have no fuse panel, but circuit breakers built into the switch panel. RARELY, they will just have inline fuses.

Follow the wires and you will find it.

That is what my last two boats had (Gregor and Klamath). The exception being the bilge pump switch had a breaker. Admittedly, I would not describe the stock electrical system as "extensive" on either boat.

Hmm... Nothing wrong with inline, just more work to find.

I recently replaced the switch panel in my big boat with a nice, 8-switch with breakers. I cut out a ton of spaghetti and it's nice and neat now. I should have done that 10 years ago!

Jshipley,
If no problems, then no rush, but maybe you should add breakers next to your switches. Mine is this one: https://www.amazon.com/Marine-Waterproof-Vertical-Switch-Aluminum/dp/B00KBAR6E2

But you may not need as many switches, so maybe something like this one?

To avoid crawling under I mounted a couple of fuse holders on the console next to the switches. If doing it again, I would have used breakers.

Breakers are just as cheap, are waterproof and rarely fail. Having them accessible is very helpful if you ever have an issue.

They sell a variety pack on Amazon, but I mostly use 5 and 10A breakers, with a couple of 15 or 20A thrown in, so I tend to buy separately.
