Note that the fuse is corroded into the cap--it won't come out in one piece. The required 10 amp fuse is shown below. (Guess how great a circuit that was making!) West Marine # 132060 five bucks for the entire new assembly. (Thanks John S.) Jeff PS: It's dog to remove the entire assembly, requiring a deep 11/16 socket. I replaced just the cap on one side, installing just a new fuse on the other side, and lubing everything with electrolytic grease. fastjeff attached the following image(s): "...reality is not nearly as lovely as the world of Liberal Land.

I've got a 3 hour and (2) 30 minute cruises under my belt, with the new fuses, and no issues!!! :) If you didn't replace the holder, Jeff, you've given up too easily - The internal contacts and springs are better on the new, IMHO... -- 1987 32 Sedan Bridge Twin 360s, Rebuilt 2006 Modified/Original Electronic Ignition Raw Water Cooled Catawba Island, Ohio

(Used a short one and water pump pliers. Ugh!) Did you make that long run, or are you about to? Jeff "...reality is not nearly as lovely as the world of Liberal Land.
