How big of a fuse do you need for a battery bank?

Where is the fuse panel on a boat?
Δ Fuse Panel or Battery: The control head power cable can be connected to the electrical system of the boat at the fuse panel (usually located near the console), or directly to the battery.

If you’re having trouble meeting the 7″ rule then the Blue Sea MRBF fuses are excellent but they do add nearly 2″ in height to a battery post to measure your battery compartment height carefully. The limiting factor with MRBF fuses is that they only go to 300A so on bigger engines you may need a Class T or ANL.
