Bluesea fuse box question

Powered hot.

You provide a single lug of power that give juice to all six circuits. You do not need this particular one that also has the negative bus bar That's primarily for fiberglass boats.

Get the standard six circuit. If you want them switched you're going to have to switch them individually with a relay.

Can't a switched hot provide power to the single power lug (all switched power)?

It could but that would have to be a MASSIVE relay depending on the total circuit load.

Standard relays are 30/40 amp . That box can support that ona single blade.

There are a few good options to switch a heavy load. I've been on the quest to find the right solution, and yet to find the all in one solution.

What's the max load your are looking to switch?

Anticipating:
1) front seat heaters (Exmoor)
2) heated windshield
3) LED auxiliary light
4) Auxiliary Reverse/Work light

The front seat heaters and the windshield are all going to have integrated relays into the harnesses that they come with. That doesn't mean you can't switch the entire circuit It would certainly be cleaner. I personally never done it this way and I've always had individually switched and individually fused circuits.

This is quite pricey, but the best I found to date. It basically has it all, and can be set to various options for each circuit group. Egis has some great stuff, and I can always appreciate US and Veteran made.


On the cheap(er) front, you only need a continuous duty solenoid or high amp relay to get it done.
