I recently had the opportunity to install the Blue Sea Systems 5026 ST Blade Fuse Block in my boat’s electrical system, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed.

Firstly, the product’s build quality is top-notch. The fuse block is robust and well-constructed, with a clear insulating cover that satisfies ABYC/USCG insulation requirements. This cover also features label recesses and storage for two fuses, making it easy to identify each circuit.

The mounting process was straightforward, thanks to the #8 (M4) screw provided. The negative bus utilizes a #10-32 stud, while the positive bus employs a distribution bus with a similar stud. The recommended torque values for both are clearly specified and easy to follow.

One feature I find particularly useful is the push button latch on the cover. It’s easy to open, yet secure enough to prevent accidental disconnection during use. This attention to detail makes it a perfect addition to any marine electrical system.

The fuse block can accommodate ring or spade type terminals and ATO/ATC fast acting blade fuses (fuses are sold separately). Additionally, it includes 20 write-on circuit labels, which is a thoughtful touch that simplifies the labeling process.

In terms of performance, the Blue Sea Systems 5026 ST Blade Fuse Block can handle up to 100A per block and 30A per circuit, with a max voltage of 32V DC. I’ve been using it for my 24-hour circuits without any issues so far.

Overall, the Blue Sea Systems 5026 ST Blade Fuse Block is a well-designed and functional component for any marine electrical system. Its quality construction, ease of use, and versatility make it a worthwhile investment for boat owners seeking reliable and efficient power distribution.
