Hi, Because the old fuse panel on my boat was showing some corrosion, I wanted to do an upgrade. I like the new location above the seat back, because it is much easier to read the labels. Not having to stand on my head to see which switch is the running lights is a good thing.

Dave, Well, sometimes we make compromises. These are not in the same league with Blue Sea Systems, but they are not priced with them either. The panels only provide +Batt distribution, no return (-Batt). Connections are made with spade lugs not screws on the distribution side. The input side is # 10 screw terminals. They do provide circuit breaker-switches for each circuit which is what I was looking for. The panels are plastic.
