Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
As Scott said a 4 or 5 amp should work, but I'd want to know what gauge wire you're using. You want the fuse to blow before the wire melts. If you have a digital voltmeter they usally have a 10 amp dc current scale. You can put it in series with the gauges and see exactly how much current they draw.
