I'm curious did you put a fused terminal on the battery terminal to protect the wire going to the 100 amp circuit breaker?
@TheDIYDoc2 ай бұрын
@@Jason.F. no. Why would I do that? There’s no load between battery and breaker.
@Jason.F.2 ай бұрын
@TheDIYDoc there is a load as soon as you turn anything on that is connected to the fuse block. Power coming from the battery to the fuse block and out to the equipment. You can put that breaker anywhere in the circuit before the fuse block that's for sure. But anything before that breaker isn't being protected. So if that section of wire before the breaker shorts out you have no way of stopping it unless you unhook from the battery. Your home is a example of my point. You power comes in and goes straight to a breaker panel. Then every wire is assigned to a breaker and that breaker is sized by the gauge of the wire. But those breakes are always first, that way every inch of wire is protected by the breaker. I'm not trying to be a hater, my first question was genuine.
@TheDIYDoc2 ай бұрын
@ yes but again that wire goes straight from battery to breaker. It’s highly unlikely that section of wire shorts out. I see what you’re saying. But it doesn’t seem high yield to fuse that section of wire. The only thing unprotected is the wire itself.

@@TheDIYDoc got another question. Did you use a 100 amp breaker because the fuse block is 100 amp?

The breaker is in the right position, however that should lead back to a battery switch. Also I do see what appear to be copper on the black wires. That will not last in saltwater and will begin to black shortly. Also you can use liquid electric tape to seal those as well.

As you are looking at 6k+ Ohms then you have to select the the nearest available range, so you might have 200, 2k, 20k, 200k etc, therefore you would need the 20k as 2k won't read when testing. If you only have 200k as your next option that is what you select, but knowing what ohms your looking for will then determine where your Decimel place will be.
