Wiring Diagrams and Fuses

    The wiring diagrams for the 32 do not seem to show any fuses but surely no one would build unprotected circuits.  What blocks of components are fused, and if there is a fuse box, where is it?  I've looked through the engine compartment but there's so much stuff and hoses in there I probably missed it.

    Thanks,

    Check behind the switch panel.

    The toggle switches on the original Westsail control panels are actually circuit breakers.

    Thanks for the replies.  Am heading to the boat right now so will investigate further.  I didn't realize the toggles in the electric panel were breakers and if I cannot find a fuse/breaker box behind the panel I'll just assume they are indeed breakers.  Wish the manual was more explicit.

    On the standard Westsail panel there is a combination of circuit breaker switches and plain toggle switches.  The circuit breaker switches have the amp setting marked on the end of the toggle.  The plain switches have a rounded ball end on the toggle.

    The plain switches are used for the navigation lights, with a circuit breaker switch to protect all of them.

    Thanks all.  There are no "hidden" fuses.  Everything is in the switch panel.
