I had one on my GS before Fuzeblock became available, it's huge compared to the Fuzeblock and you still need to add a relay if you want the circuit to be switched.


I'm now using a Fuzeblock behind the right panel.

Or make your own with a terminal strip, relay, & fuses.
Works fine, lasts long time.

I also had one on my Vee, but could not find a place to fit it on the S10. Ultimately the OEM grip warmer plug was all I needed to power my GPS and grip warmers which were the only things for which I needed a relay. Haven't found the need to install any other relays or terminals.

I looked at the Blue Sea, but went with the FZ-1 Fuzeblock. The Blue Sea is priced a lot less than others, but its size (8in length) seemed to limit the places to install it compared to the FZ-1, Eastern Beaver, and Centech fuseblocks. On the other hand the FZ-1 is much more restrictive on how many amps you can push through each circuit (10A max switched and unswitched) and a combined 30A switched due to the internal relay. At the moment I only have my lights, GPS and air compressor on the fuseblock. It's fitted under the top right side panel.

8" length?!?!?! How about 3 5/8"?

Oh, sorry. I was looking at the product dimensions in the link in first post.

The 5025 only has positive bus, the 5028 has both -/+ busses, but is just under 5" long.


Suppose there could be a method to tie in a ground to batt, but this would probably be the best Blue Sea box, if it would fit somewhere. If the cover was left off, seems the unit would take up much less space and the cover doesn't do much, other that a place to put labels. I would want some sort of common ground to batt. Never ground to frame if I can avoid it.
