Mike -

Having done a complete re-wire on a Montauk and Outrage 17, I prefer using blade type fuses not the glass cylinder type.

I recommend a Blue Seas 6 circuit block with negative bus and cover

Another option is to install a simple buss bar and have fuses next to the switches. The depth finder could be on an accessory switch. Something like this
I went this way on my Montauk. See my personal page.

These items are available at West Marine, Boaters, Hamilton Marine etc.

As for fuses, I would guess 3 amp for lights, 6 amp for a 500 gpm bilge pump and 5 amp for the depth finder. If you have the manuals for these they will list it. If no manual, you can do a web search on the manufacturer's sites.

Do you have the stern light bracket and need a pole or the whole thing? If only the pole, Perko carries replacement poles.
