[QUOTE="gandrew55, post: 420056, member: 8208"] My current setup, without a switch panel but with each circuit fused inline coming off a Johnny Ray battery terminal, has one additional positive 8AWG wire coming off the battery with a 50 amp breaker for the trolling motor. (I only have one battery on this boat right now.) My question is really about trying to understand the switch panel + negative terminal setup, if I decide to go to the trouble of setting this up as I add the bilge pump. It's confusing when I look and see switch panels, fuse blocks and terminals all being offered for sale. If I buy a switch panel that comes with individual blade fuses, so I just need to buy a negative bus bar with it, or will I really need a fuse block? Is the fuse block really superior, if I can adjust the blades to match my application? (Looks like the breaker switch assemblies will limit control over what goes where.) [/QUOTE]
