im new.i have a 5025 st fuse common block .what I want to know is I have navigation lights 2.4 amps and bilge pump 2 amps and fish finder 1amp.wha size wire Wire from tha battery positive to fuse box and also The fuse size.

10 gauge from battery to fuse panel with 20A fuse within one foot of the battery. 16 gauge wiring from the fuse panel to the accessories you have. Fuse sizes depend on what you run on each branch circuit. If everything is on a separate circuit, then 7.5A is fine for the bilge pump. 5A for lights and fish finder.
