    circuit box

    I have no clue when it comes to electrical components, my boat has a small circuit block on it, nothing is wired up to it. All I have is a switch for the bilge pump and a switch for the lights, is it better if they're wired to the circuit block? If so, is there a diagram showing how one is used...
