Good quality

BEWARE of over-tightening pos/neg poles. For a marine electronic company which is known to be one of the best, if not, the best in the industry, this device doesnt hold up to those standards. After countless hours of running new wires through my boat, zip tying them so eloquently, I got down to my last wire to secure to the fuse block. I didnt feel like I was over-tightening at all. In fact, I felt as if I had tightened every screw/nut the same as I did them all in succession. But the rivet on the negative pole pushed through the hole. So Im left with a decision here. Jerry rig it with a nut and bolt that wont slide through the hole, or not fish my boat for the next week or two and deal with a rats nest of wires until I can return this item for a replacement. Wish Blue Sea Systems would send me a new fuse block before I had to send mine back, so I can easily replace wire for wire. Word to Blue Sea Systems - Please use a bolt instead of a rivet, or increase the gauge of metal which you are riveting to for your positive and negative poles. Ive had this same exact fuse block in my 2005 boat since it was originally purchased. It survived 12 years of abuse, and the new one lasted a single day.

blue sea is the same products the big boat companies use. Good quality box well worth the money. Worked out great.

Very slick setup.

Blue sea systems is the only stuff I use for my automotive projects. Quality is fantastic, connections are good, and I have never had to replace one.

Fuse block arrived as advertised. Mounted to the inside of my boats battery-reservoir along with a disconnect switch e9003. Ran a direct neg. connection from battery to neg. bank on fuse block. This provides negative connections for all corresponding positive loads. Ran positive connection from Disconnect switch so I can kill the entire block. Plastic base is dense-durable and has four holes for mounting. Plastic face snaps in to cover. Doesnt make a water-tight seal, but locks/snaps in place securely. Labels are too tiny to really be of any use. Cleaned up the labyrinth of main and accessory wiring found in most boat-battery reservoirs. Ultimately freed up enough room to add a little tool box next to the battery. Also, makes it much easier to access/replace bilge, aerator pumps.
