New fuse block...fuse type/Source??

[llong66]

Hi! I was wanting to put another fuse block in my M1008 for 12v accessories, I dont like the idea of running to many things off the 12v tap on the fire wall. I found the fuse block pictured here, I had gotten it at a tub sale at Cabelas or some place like that years ago. It if for marine applications, it is made by Professional Mariner LLC.
Has anyone ever seen a fuse that would fit this? The one pic with the tape measure gives you an idea of the size they should be. I really like the unit and hope I can find the correct fuses at the ratings I am going to need.
Thanks much!!
Greg

When I was reading my post prior to posting, I missed the spelling error in the title, is there a way to edit the title?
Sorry about that!

I think they require the old style glass tube with wire conducter inside fuse . I used this type of fuse block in my 1028. http://www.westmarine.com/blue-sea-systems--st-blade-fuse-blocks--P009_275_002_501. It uses modern spade type fuses. Easy install with cover to keep water out. I mounted the unit near the front battery on the inner fender and ran a pos and neg lead off the front battery.

Looks like standard AGC fuses to me. Available in any auto parts store, or Amazon. If so, that's a very nice fuse block. It will work just fine for you.

I don't know about you guys, but that looks to take a fuse that is much longer than the old Buss fuses used in older cars, etc.

Well, the standard AGC fuse is 1.2 inches, which seems to match up the tape measure. But it's always hard to say with a photo.

One way to find out for sure - go spend a buck ninety eight on a package of fuses, and see how well they fit!

Thanks guys! Mracus and cpf240, I also think that they look like the old glass fuses but its the physicl size I am wondering about, the length is right near 1 3/4" with a iameter about that of a pencil. Do you know if that style of fuse with those measurments are available at the regular auto parts places? I think there might be a local boat placce n town but I will have to investigate that. Thanks for your help, I will keep you updated on what I find. I do agree its a nice unit and if they somehow have them listed I will let everyone know because it is a nice, well built block.

Thanks much!

Edit: Marcus...Looks like I was thinking the same way as you posted! Lol, thanks!

AGC fuses are 1.25" long and .25" in diameter.

AGY/SFE30 fuses are 1 7/16" long and .25" in diameter.

AGU fuses are 1.50" long and 13/32" in diameter.
