    Fuse block

    I’m thinking about relocating the fuse block from the helm to the engine compartment where there is better access. It would be a blue sea block. I bought one a couple weeks ago. Do you think there would be a voltage drop problem extending those wires?

    Fuse block

    Hello, I have a Glastron Gs249. The previous owner cut the mounting studs off the fuse block. Now there is no way to mount it. It’s just flopping around under the steering column. The fuses are real loose also. Any recommendations for a new fuse block that would be secure and accessible? Thank you
