    Fuse Block/Wiring

    I have this posted elsewhere but may be someone here can provide some input..

    If you a familiar with Phoenix wiring pre 2014- I have a Main Power Switch on/off no breaker.

    From one side of that switch is a wire ( I'm guessing 4 ga could be smaller 6? it isn't marked on the wire) it runs to a single terminal post- on that post is a 20amp manual reset breaker with 3 + wires to it- (manual bilge, recircs, ( Bilge and other pumps have 10amp in line fuse) and main power to all lights accessories.


    From the other side of the switch runs the same size wire to 50amp manual reset breaker that is attached to + battery post.

    - TO answer the question the 50amp breaker and large wire feeds the main power system to the switch directly from the battery

    I want to elminate the terminal post- connect that wire to positive post of battery using the 50 amp breaker

    Replace the 20 amp breaker by using the blue sea fuse block.

    on the block will be -

    manual bilge- has 10 amp inline fuse

    recircs - 10 amp inline fuse

    Power wire from dash - No visible inline fuse but I am assuming it has protection from the factory circuit near console

    jack plate - 40 amp in line fuse

    I plan to match the fuses in the block with the same size as inlines

    Will this work like explained?

    I have a main disconnect that will be between the block and battery

    I can't share the pic of what I've drawn up from my phone
