    Anyone using a fuse block foward for 360 and other graphs?

    Installing 360 mega and a new helix 10 soon and was thinkin of putting a 6 port fuse block in the rod locker for power

    Ie run 10ga wire feom the battery to the fuse block and then wire the 360, helix 10 and others into that block

    Is this a bad idea?

    I have one at the bow and connected to the battery with 8 gauge. I may have multiple Helix, SOLIX. or a combination of both. Don't want to splice any wires to power cords to reach a more remote fuse panel.

    That’s a perfect idea, always helps to have a fuse block up near the bow.
    I run 10ga directly to battery for my 10in on the front. I’ll probably do your setup if I add more electronics to the front.

    Thats how I run my bow units. Blue Sea makes some great fuse blocks.

    I have the 6 circuit with bond and it made things very easy to rig up.
