Question, I'm rewiring my boat, and getting rid of the stock terminal breaker block. I'm going to put a inline 35 amp block fuse. My question is on the terminal block, I can't find a 35amp only 25 then jumps to 45amp.
What amp terminal bar should I get? Or anyone know where I can get a 35 amp terminal block. Thank you in advance.

The breaker protects the wire, so it should be sized accordingly.

When I build my harnesses I never used the terminal block route. I would use the packard weather proof connectors for everything of course wires sized and colored to the boating industy association. It was plug and play when removing the engine.

That's a good idea, I was doing plug and play, but hidden behind the panel. I got bigger block, so I can add radio and interior lighting later.

I personally would stay away from the GM/ Delphi weather pack connector. I like using the Deutsch connectors, the terminals have a way better locking design inside the connector housing. I've seen countless failures with the terminals inside the housings on the GM weather packs.

They make a plastic housing connector like this up to a 12 pin
They also make a metal housing mil spec circular 1/4 turn connector in tons of different configurations

Hey bud, doing the re wire and want to use a aux solenoid, What solenoid should I get? This is the diagram I'm using to rewire, and I'm 30 amp reset breaker, running 14 gauge instead of 16 because I already had, and using 10 where it's listed to use. Thanks in advance.

Just go to Napa and get an external starter solenoid (ford style) that's all I use, nothing super fancy
