Re: what size fuses?

Fuse size has to be matched to wire gauge. Do a search on this Forum for "fuse size" and you'll find a number of references showing wire gauge and corresponding fuse size. Then you'll have to figure out the gauge of each of your wires :(

NAV lights = 7.5 amp. Bilge pump = 7.5 or 10 amp. Blower = 10 - 15 amp. (Best look for the current draw label on the blower). Since you have a blower, you apparently have an I/O. Odd you should have an IGNITION fuse since that circuitry is normally protected by fuses and breakers in the engine bay.
