Quicksilver 505OP — Electrical Systems

5. Fuses and Breakers

Your boat will either have fuses or breakers protecting the DC electrical system. If you have to replace
a fuse or electrical breaker, replace only with a fuse or breaker of the same rating. The amperage will
be marked on the fuse or breaker, and it is recommended that you carry spare fuses or breakers.
If a fuse or breaker is replaced with one that has a lower amperage, it may not be sufficient to carry
the electrical load of the equipment it is connected to and will cause nuisance failures. If a fuse or
breaker is replaced with one that has a higher amperage, it will not provide protection against an
electrical malfunction and could create a possible fire hazard.
