No fuse block on my 04?

[Utemachine]

I was wiring in my new stereo and correctly wiring the battery switch and I quickly discovered that my boat has no fuse block. There are a few runs going back to the batteries with inline fuses. Is this normal? I can't believe this doesn't have a fuse block?

Yep, I discovered the same thing when I lost a ground somewhere. Tower lights, heater and shower all quit. I spent a good hour hunting for a fuse block and all I came up with was 2 inlines at the batteries, 7 inlines under the dash and the main reset on the engine. I thought I was a total feeb and just couldn't find it. I took it to a boat shop and yeah...thats all there is.

Most of the important stuff uses breakers.

anyway, dont worry, you dont want to wire the stereo to a fuse box any way It's best to wire directly to the "House" battery.

This site has done wonders for my worrying over my boat. Thanks guys. I was thinking the worst case scenario like it was salvaged off the bottom of Lake Mead, and the previous owner rebuilt it without a fuse block to save money.
