Common Concerns Answered
Are fuses included with this fuse block?
No, fuses are sold separately. You will need to purchase the appropriate ATO® or ATC® blade fuses for each of your circuits.
Does this fuse block have a cover?
This specific model, the Blue Sea 5037, is sold without a cover. This means the terminals are exposed, so ensure it is installed in a location protected from moisture and physical damage.
I prefer a fuse block with an integrated negative bus. Is this the right product?
The Blue Sea 5037 is designed with independent circuits and does not include an integrated negative bus bar. If you require a negative bus for simplified wiring, consider the Blue Sea Systems 5025 model.
