You can order a Hoffman box, DIN rail, and get din mounted relays and shite and make a super slick panel with connectors and shite.

If it doesnt need to be water tight, just get din rail and din mounted relays and shite. Allied Electric is the best source for that stuff.

I just did this on my truck and it was super easy and clean. Not marine rated but good enough for under truck hood. I'd think it should work fine in a boat if it's in a console or somewhat protected.



Box is like $15 on amazon

That's the one I was looking at, but I already have this blue sea box.

Did it come with relays or no?

No didnt come with relays or fuses. And if you buy relays make sure they don't have that mounting tab on them bc it will prevent the lid from closing.

Other than that I really like it. Just use your blue seas panal for fuses and the box for relays

I'm gonna clean up all of my shite with a blue sea box one of these days. Just got a power inverter for Christmas, so I'm gonna be doing some wiring soon. They look much better, and you can label everything

Painless has weather resistant fuse/relay boxes but are fixed 3 or 7-circuit setups with relays. One is a 7-circuit with two 40A relays.
