I bought one of these back in 2016 for $43. This one uses one input to feed all 12 circuits. The one posted in a link above is split, with one input to feed 6 circuits and another input to feed the other 6 circuits. So depending on your need, this one may be a better fit.

I saw that one was an option as well. I’m not sure if it’s ABYC approved to run a jumper wire from one zone to the other on the split fuse block, but that was my thought process when I ordered. I went ahead and ordered two of these. Maybe I’ll send back the split ones as I typically run the bilge pump wires direct to battery.

Should be $8.24, black, on/off version. I just ordered a few, will use on the RV and tractors.

I'd prefer red, but those were around $25 each. Still a smoking deal.

These are a super good deal. I last bought some 9003E (same idea but slightly higher amperage/different size) for $40ish a few years ago and was happy with those prices at the time! I bought a few of these here, sure I will use them soon (I use these normally for batttery disconnects on tractors)

I usually get 2/0 from TEMCO
prices vary a bit, but you can usually get at about $3/foot (it is higher now but I expect it will slide back - at least it has in past)


6 gauge is normally about a buck a foot
the 40+40 looks like a good deal. I grabbed the 8awg quoted because of silicone jacket and price for short run typically commands a high premium.

Good find, Blue Sea Systems is pretty much top-of-the-line for unsealed DC power distribution.

My box arrived yesterday (haven't opened it yet, but should contain 5 of the black on/off switches, which were down to $8.24 on Monday (but are now up to ~$27).

Planning to use 4 (RV, backhoe, 2 small tractors), and have 1 spare. Still wish they were red, but couldn't resist the $8 price!

Can they be marked, painted or even dyed some?
Would not be the same as the marine ones, but could help it stick out.

Maybe? They're mostly plastic / resin.

Up until I started to see the black ones inside of newer RVs a few years ago, I'd only ever seen the red ones (usually on boats).
