Common Concerns Answered
I need to power a high-draw trolling motor; can this fuse block handle it?
The Blue Sea 5024 is designed for up to four ST-Blade (ATO/ATC) fuses, which are rated up to 30A per circuit. For very high-draw accessories like trolling motors, consult the amperage requirements and consider a dedicated circuit with a higher-rated fuse type, such as an ANL fuse block.
The kit only includes 8 ring terminals, but I have more accessories to connect.
The kit provides 8 nylon ring terminals to accommodate the four fused circuits and the main battery connections. Additional marine-grade ring terminals are readily available to expand your wiring connections as needed.
I require more than 4 fused circuits; is there an alternative?
Yes, Blue Sea Systems offers the 5025 model, which provides 6 ST-Blade fused circuits, or you may consider a larger distributed fuse panel for significantly more circuits.
