Aside from looking at the manuals, I would guesstimate 5 amps each (gps/ff is less, VHF about 5 and wash down could be more depending on size)
not familiar with your setup but you might be able to feed the new panel from the factory panel. You have an existing fuse panel and a -Neg bus? Are they connected to the battery with 8 or 10 wire?
You're adding a fuse panel or a switch&fuse panel?
I feed my blue seas 6 switch panel from my fuse panel thru a 15 amp fuse. runs all lights,horn, 2 gps/ff, bilge pump. the feed wire is the wire that came on the switch panel (12 gauge I think). My VHF feeds from my main panel as does my 12volt accessory socket(for plugging in spotlight)
