i need to add 2 additional circuits, totaling 8 amps. ( 3 gang breaker / rocker switch panel)( an extra just in case one goes to crap)
1 for a trailering spot light ( 2.5 amp actual, using a 5 amp circuit breaker rocker switch) very brief use
1 for my front fishfinder (3 amp actual, using 5 amp circuit breaker rocker switch)
my problem / question is: (Can’t seem to post photo of the fuse panel and neg bus)
my new boat has a factory fuse panel with attached negative bus, BUT, all positive terminals are taken.
I did notice a slotted metal tang at the top of the fuse pane, but not sure if I can add a jumper wire from the slotted area of the panel, adding a small bolt / nut, and run to my 3 gang breaker rocker switch’s. Combining the 3 rocker switches positives to the jumper wire for power, then combining all 3 the negatives into one groups as well and run to the negative bus.
