919 Rod Locker Fuse Box?

919

Thinking about adding 2 graphs, Mega 360 and an ethernet box so I started looking at the the fuse box in the rod locker for available power.

There is a black wire on screw terminal on top, orange on the middle one and 2 reds on the bottom.

The top with screw terminals are the ground

The middle has a total of 6 bladed fuses; 5 -5 amp and 1 - 3 amp bladed fuses, 1 5 amp for console and 1 5 amp for bow graph and I assume 1 -3 amp is for the min kota puck?

So I have 3 open fusees I can use

The middle has 6 spots for bladed fuses but is not hot??? Why would the top 6 spots on the block be hot but not the bottom? How can I make it hot?

when wired correctly 6 are switched and 6 are hot all the time master is on

OK so your saying the top 6 are on the master breaker and the bottom are on the power switch on the console with all other switches, or switched when the key is on ?

I need to re test, I thought I had both switches on, but not the key.

should be on with the switch on the main switch panel , if its not check the wiring to the relay in the main wire powering the fusbox

This is what mine looks like.

How would I test that.

[DREWTICK]

they will not be hot until you put fuses in the spaces

OK verified today that all are switched on the control panel

I have found 2 sets of wires with butt connectors, wire tied in rod locker? What in the heck are they?

I just found out they are for lights I don’t have on my boat, Roger that way from the factory
