I've been wanting to install some radios and other electrical devices to my M1008. I was thinking about the wiring and how my fuse block is getting old, so I came up with a new idea.

This auxiliary fuse panel is compact (3.0” x 2.4” x 1.25”) and easy to install. My plan is to use the 12 volt junction on the firewall under the hood. I chose this model for the ease of installation and adding electronics. I plan to use a fusible link too as added protection.

I would shop around for better shipping cost if you buy.

A little spendy, but nice looking stuff.

True. I just wanted a clean install. Someone wants to take it out some day they only have to pull a few wires, not search everywhere to see what I did.

Painless = GARBAGE

You can find much higher quality for just a little more money than painless.

If you're going to put it under the hood, maybe it would be more appropriate to use a marine fuse panel that was made for damp conditions.

A quick search on amazon finds this one that's not only marine grade, but less expensive.

I have 2nd fuse panel for radios and such on my M1009. A friend helped me install some relays that will energize the panel with engine turned on. It works well no problems.

I second Mainsail advice on the marine grade panel. It's a great panel, and the price is right. I believe it's made by Blue Sea Systems.

He's probably done with this project by now. Over three years later.
