Do you have a pix of the fuseholder arrangement?

I'll be at the boat tomorrow so I'll see if I can get a decent photo of it. The Fuse holder is a decent design that is sealed. While possible, I have a hard time imagining that it would have oxidized. However, the look of the fuse and the holder does imply heat to me so you never know.
