  I worked for a number years in marine electrical. In larger marine craft, fuses are not mainly used as the preferred form of electrical protection. Marine certified magnetic/thermal circuit breakers are recommended, they come in various tripping curves depending on their applications. In large sea/ocean going vessels, batteries are divided into 3. One set for starting and engine monitoring, one set for light including navigation lights and the other, for radio communications and or radar. All 3 battery configurations can be charged either off 1 or 2 main engines using a blocking diode system. Love your video. Thanks. Retired DC electrician.

  You sir were born to teach! I haven&apos;t seen many other content makers cover a specific topic with such incredible clear concise information. &nbsp;Neither have I seen anyone come up with such a wonderful model to help explain the where and why? I decided to put a second battery in my center console. I will be installing a fuse block to run my tinned wire to from some additional interior lights, a stereo and fans I will be installing. I have a large deep cycle battery that will be in a secured battery box. There will be one ground lead to the fuse block and one hot to a 60 amp thermal fuse breaker. Then from the 60 amp breaker to the fuse block. I can put whatever amp fuse I want right in the fuse block and there are LED red lights to show power for night. The console battery will have a charge lead coming out of the battery box as well so I can charge it without removing it. The fuse block will make wiring any add ons a breeze and keep everything neat and organized with minimal wiring confusion because every wire connection will be labled at the fuse block. The console battery will also be connected to a solar panel charging system with the panel mounted on top of the T top. Doing it myself it cost roughly $200.00 and &nbsp;most of that cost is from buying the solar set up. The nice thing about fuse blocks is you can run your fish finder gps off the same battery as everything else without interference because every connection is getting clean regulated power.

  This is just the first video in the series, so I am really looking forward to following along. What i am most interested at the moment is adding 125v 30a &nbsp;shore power to my sailboat and setting up a distribution panel and any other needed components to run heater/air-conditioned, frig, plus 2 standard outlets (gallery and head) and battery charger. Also interested in your great tutorial on adding small solar panels.

  Thank you so so much for the videos that you made on boat wiring. I am about to wire my boat from scratch and your videos gave me a great way to visualize my job ahead.
