I just bought my first boat, 14 ft Jon, and I am putting nav lights, individual green and red LEDs and then the rear all around light. I am also going to put a few 25 watt LEDs on the front for bowfishing and a few internal floor lights. The question is where can I find a 6 plug in fuse box for cheap. I think I know how to wire it but I have been to Lowe's and I couldn't find one (doesn't mean they don't have it). But I just want fuses to make absolutely sure that nothing will blow and so I won't have many wires running to my battery. I am also running a trolling motor so I will have to have a fuse location for it too.
 
I used a Blue Sea 6 circuit like this one https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Sea-Systems-Circuit-Ground/dp/B000THQ0CQ/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1343880636&sr=8-5&keywords=blue+sea
 
I was thinking of using something similar for my 16' lund. Does this panel have a negative bus bar?
It would be nice to have just two wires run from the battery to the fuse panel. I haves seen separate bus bars available on Amazon, but I do not have to get that, that's an additional $20 or so for bait and snacks.

Also, it looks like the panel is not waterproof, but if I put it under my back bench, would it be ok there?

Thanks!

Peter
