Fuse Block or Not?

[Dadwith2boys]

Hello, I don't think it matters, but I have a 72 V-156 Glastron, which is in need of wiring for everything but the motor.

1st question, should I use a fuse block for all electrics except the trolling motor?

2nd question, should I use a separate battery for all electronics except the motor and the trolling motor?

Thank you in advance for you help.

Yes you should use a fuse block. Why put accessories on the trolling motor battery? it simply isn't necessary. Leave them on the start battery. A killer stereo or other very high current draw device should go to an auxiliary battery.

Yeah I totally agree with Sivertip here. Use a fuseblock and everything will be done right, durable and fused, rather than a spaghetti rats nest. You'll be glad in the long run if you have an issue with a component and the wiring's easy to follow. Don't bother asking me how I know this. :redface:
