Hello All
I just replaced the original accessory panel with a Blue Sea ST Fuse Block. After replacing the panel, I started scratching my head. The original panel only had three circuits. (1) Red/orange 10amp labeled as cabin lights (2) orange stripe 20 amp labeled (maybe 10 gauge) as wiper and (3) red (light gauge maybe 14gauge) labeled as accessory power.

I added 3 other circuits myself for fish finder, radio and GPS. The bilge pump has a fusable link.

How is it that Grady only installed three circuits? I am pretty sure the original owner never touched/replaced the panel. The original gauges were all analog.

Does anyone have any thoughts? Much appreciated.

At the switch panel, does the panele have the button breakers (under the little rubber boot)?

Are any of the switches spare?

switches have little rubber, flexible covers

Hi
Each of the toggle switches has a black rubber like finger-cot like " cover" directly below the switch itself.
I have pushed several but it does not feel like they have anything under them

Those are breakers in untripped position.

If any switches are spare then you have more spares including breakers/switches to use to turn on and off, if preferred.

Use breakers for motor loads if you have any, fuses for other things.
