Why Use a Blue Sea Systems Marine Fuse Block?

A battery fuse block is a set area where all of your electronics can draw the right amount of power without connecting directly to the battery. It ensures that each connection is solid, it will not overheat, and you will never have to worry about sparks or other issues that could cause damage to your more sensitive equipment.

Bus Bar ExplainedTypically, the Bluesea fuse block will come in three parts. They all work together to provide your boat with a steady power source. You will have the busbar, which is responsible for distributing power. Then, you will have the block terminal, which will connect to the busbar. Nexy, you will then need to install fuses to send out the power to that particular wire and device.

Why Have a Boat Fuse Block?

These fuse blocks are often installed from the boat manufacturer, but those are often just enough to power the things that are installed when you purchase your boat. If you want fish finders, GPS systems, radios, lights, etc; a fuse block may also be necessary. You’ll want to make sure before you purchase any fuse block that it is solid enough to withstand salt spray and vibrations that you would not normally have to deal with when adding a fuse box to your vehicle. Not all fuse blocks are created to resist salty air or extreme vibrations. Check out some of the most popular Blue Sea System options below.
