I bought the Pronautic 30 amp charger and was wondering how most fuse the 3 outputs. Manual states 10 amps greater than charger output, so that is 40 amp fuses. Was hoping to avoid inline fuse holders, but a marine multi fuse block rated for 40 amp per circuit is tough to find. Any ideas

I have a four bank 30 amp and it came with its own in-line fuse holders with appropriate size fuses.

I suggest you fuse each bank individually as wspitler says. I'm guessing it is 10A per bank.

Of course each bank is fused individually and since it has intelligent distribution and theoretically could dump all 30 amps into one battery the logic for each output to be fused at 40 amp. My question was how to avoid the inline fuses. I solved it and ordered a 3 bank mrbf blue sea fuse block. Expensive but cleaner construct in my eyes.
