I have been to Jaycar, Whitworth's boat supplies, Autoone and Repco. All have said a 300amp fuse is a total overkill. I bought my cable from Whitworths, don't know what the amp rating is, but guys are using it on diesel boat engine starters and V8 boat engine starters, so it must cut it. I compared this cable to the 4GA in Jaycar, and it is thicker, so it must be 2ga I guess, Whitworth call it 2B&S, but I have no idea WTF that means.
It is also tinned to prevent corrosion which is good, but at $10.90 a metre was probably an over kill. The untinned stuff is $6.90 a metre.
The bloke in Whitworths said all boat builders use 150amp fuses for their circuits, he didn't clarify though if that was for the engine circuit or for the accesories. And he laughed at the 300amp idea.
I am really confused now. The fact that Norbie's car hasn't burn't down says to me that 2ga may even be overkill.
I used to work in marine wholesaleing, supplying all the boat builders, and we only ever stocked 150amp fuses.
What do you guys think????
