I am looking at installing a fuse box on my NT. I think I am going to go with an Eastern Beaver PC-8, but I have some questions about the number and type of circuits I may want. I see that the FZ-1 Fuzeblock is popular, and that you can choose whether to make each circuit switched, or unswitched. My question is, other than for hooking up a charger, what would one use the unswitched circuits for? I have seen people talk about having a GPS hooked up to one, but the only GPS unit I've ever had (a Garmin) ran off its battery, which the vehicle just recharged when plugged in, so I would be able to use it with the power off anyway.
The PC-8 has two unswitched circuits and 6 switched. I have a small dongle with ring connectors on the battery right now (it is freakin' frigid here) that the battery maintainer hooks up to, so I could even leave that in place. That would mean I don't have a plan for either of the unswitched circuits. I'm sure I could find a less expensive fusebox if it didn't have both types of circuits. Should I look for one of these instead?
If this has already been covered, please direct me to the thread. Thanks.
