So as part of my efforts to straighten the electrical system yesterday, I discovered the hard way that several circuits were not fuse protected, when they should. No Comment.

I am going to add fuses:
- on the positive supply to the key switch (40 amps as per MM drawing)
- on the lead between coil + and key switch (20 amps as per MM drawing)
- one fuse dedicated to all lighting of the instrument panel (with the number of modifications, it should really be). recommendations for amps?
- one on the Music/Radio/CDs combo, that was connected directly to the battery(!!!). What fuse rating should I use? It is a typical "car system"

The original 12V electrical of my Catalina 27 is in poor shape, toggle switches are failing one by one. I may replace the whole thing, but that is a next Fall project

Any other ideas / recommendations?
thank you

been going through a lot of threads, among those
