[QUOTE="WTM, post: 5591077, member: 6230"] also this seems to be popular for some reason, cutting out the provided barrel fuse and using a fuse block instead. that particular fuse is a device protection fuse. fusing should be cascaded beginning at the battery with a higher rated fuse to protect the whole circuit and conductor then cascaded down to the device fuse with the largest allowed fuse, again protecting the conductor. this allows the conductor to be protected and not be turned into heating element or cutting torch while keeping voltage drop to a minimum. ive seen a bass tracker burn up because the starter circuit was not protected and burned into the plastic gas tank. contrary to popular opinion, starting circuits can be fused if the max cranking amps can be determined. back to the included garmin barrel fuse. ifin you remove it, you run the risk of voiding your warranty: [ATTACH type="full"]172707[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
