Ever worry about a short circuit turning your day on the water—or the road—into a nightmare? The Blue Sea Systems 5196 Fuse Block eliminates that risk by letting you fuse high-amperage circuits right at the battery. No more long, unprotected wire runs that invite trouble.
This MRBF fuse block supports three independent positive circuits sharing a common negative bus bar. Each circuit accepts MRBF fuses up to 250A continuous rating, perfect for house banks, thrusters, or inverters. It's ignition protected, meeting SAE J1171 standards, so it's safe in engine compartments. The corrosion-resistant polycarbonate base and tin-plated copper bus keep connections solid even in salty air or damp conditions.
Installing the 5196 means cleaner wiring, faster troubleshooting, and peace of mind. Picture this: you're anchoring offshore, running lights, fridge, and stereo off a single battery bank. One fuse blows? The others stay live—no total blackout. Boaters, RV owners, and solar installers swear by Blue Sea's reliability; their lifetime warranty backs it up.
Wire it up in minutes with #10-32 studs for fuses and bus bar. It handles the heat—up to 100% of fuse rating continuously. Whether upgrading your panel or starting fresh, this fuse block streamlines power distribution while meeting ABYC standards for fusing within 7 inches of the battery.
Grab the 5196 and fuse your system the pro way. It's the simple step that keeps electrons flowing safely, so you focus on the horizon, not the hazards.
