waterproof fuse box

[euclid]

Getting the last little tid bits for my dual bat setup. Anyone have a source for a distribution block/fuse box for under the hood for all the extra accessories? I would like to have something that is more or less waterproof, and the fuse boxes that wranglernw sells don't even have a cover over them. Any ideas?

This is the one I am using...not waterproof but much better than most...

You might head for the pick n pull and find one from another vehicle that will suit your needs. Quite a few OEM designs out there these days that would probably work well.

Or make your own with a sealable food container. Grab a nice Rubbermaid box, run some wires in and seal them with silicone then seal the screws you use to fasten it to the fender. Ammo can or an industrial electrical enclosure (NEMA 12 spec boxes are water and dust-tight IIRC) would work well too. You can find water-proof conduit and cable clamps (that seal a cable where it enters an electrical box) at an industrial/commercial electrical supply house as well.

HTH,

I'm using the same for my 24 to 12 volt converter... Blue Sea makes good stuff.

I'm planning on picking up one of these Bussman fuse holders soon to do some rewiring. It uses metri-pak style connectors with the seals and has a sealed cover. Product lit says weatherproof (not waterproof, but good enough for me).

I can't get a direct link, but here's the info.
Part Number: 46077

There's more info on the Bussman website as well.

Hope this helps.

I'm pretty sure that "painless" also makes a weatherproof aux fuse box that can be found at summit racing and a few other places. it comes as a full kit.

Here we go. 60 bucks but it includes everything.

I did this on my dual batt set-up. I just mounted the switch up high in the engine compartment on the PS, and used a simple bus comnnector with in-line, prong type fuse holders and fuses. This is really simple, bullet proof, and they are highly water resistant.

Here it is with the covers off.

www.centech.com has a number of wiring parts.

I bought a pair of 6 circuit o-ring sealed fuse boxes from them. They really are sealed, and come loaded with a variety of fuses.

There is one problem though- they are a "straight through" design like OEM fuse blocks, as in they do not distribute power. There is an "in" and "out" spade for each fuse. Thus, they require the use of seperate power distributors. Not a big deal.
