I suspect the current fuse panel is either incorrectly installed or simply not suited for marine use. I’m considering replacing the entire fuse panel but have no idea which models are best for a marine environment, ensuring reliability and waterproofing. What options should I look into, and where can I find high-quality components?

Standard automotive fuses tend to corrode quickly in marine conditions, so it's best to use waterproof marine-grade fuse panels. Models with built-in failure indicators are also a great choice since they make it easy to spot blown fuses. I ordered mine from boat switch panel, and they offer a great selection specifically designed for marine use. Delivery was fast—about a week—and the quality was excellent. Just make sure to calculate the correct fuse ratings to prevent system overloads.
