No need to carry aluminum foil there for back up fuses. Smoke is optional.

What's so bad with the pic? It looks good to me ,,,,,seriously Am I missing something

[phatdaddy]

Positive, red, is on the negative buss bar
Negative, black is on fuse bar and hooked upstream of the fuses, no current going through the fuses.

Assuming they used black for negative and red for positive

Everything should get current, just backwards and no fuse protection

[3 Squids]

Yea. Either way there's nothing going through the fuses. It's all just wired straight to the + & -. Plus that's just a clusterF*** of wires. I can't stand rat nest wiring.

Oh yeah how did I miss that, the way I have mine is just the opposite black on the ground bar and positive on the positive side so the fuses should work?

[steplift20]

So maybe mine are hooked up wrong too? Should the red wire be on the screw closes to the black side,?
Let me try to explain
Screw Fuse Screw with positive wire Then screw with black wire

could a po have started with a black/white pos/neg system and only changed the white wire (incorrectly) to red? some boats have been wired that way blk=pos , wht = neg .
electricians show those types of changes with the correct color tape on the last few inches of each end of a single line to prevent mix-ups. My v20 came to me with a bunch of that orange wire also. It took a while to trace all.

Could anyone put up a picture with the same fuse block that's correctly wired? I would like to see it cause now I'm not 100 percent sure I'm right the way I'm hooked up to it
