Which Loads Should I Attach to a Fuse Block on My Boat?

Question:

Hi, I'm rewiring my older boat and an learning a great deal from your videos. But I don't understand what loads I should attach to a fuse block and what I should attach to a traditional marine panel with breakers? Thanks for any help. - Ryan

Answer:

Thanks for reaching out to PYS with your question, glad to hear you are enjoying the videos. I have included a link to a DC overview diagram from our website that may assist you. Typically “house” loads such as lights, pumps, fans, usb outlets, etc. would be on a breaker panel for easy access and all other larger devices that don’t need to be switched can be on a fuse block.
