New to us GB 42 with largely intact original wiring layout. Saw something I didn't understand and ran out of time to trace it out. I am assuming I am looking at a pair of fuses here.
I was initially concerned by the smaller conductors in contact with the fusible links which seems like a bad idea. It looks like I could break them out of the loom and easily re-route them.
Now that I am looking at the photo I am thinking more about the smaller conductors. This fuse certainly would not be protective of that wiring so I don't know if that is a bad idea to be feeding them off this fuse block.
I'm not at the boat but have the original wiring schematics. I thought this was DC but 3 and 4 look like the AC plug circuits. This element is not depicted in the schematic. Those circuits are already breaker protected. Blue/Black is original AC wiring scheme but red for AC + is unusual. It is strange that the blue/black wire color changes across the fuse. Obviously I need to keep digging to confirm what this is.
Main questions:
* Is this a fuse? What type? (I didn't see it in Calder)
* Should wires be moved out of contact
* Should this be updated to a newer style fuse and/or covered? (No, put it on a list, yes you're about to die)
Other thoughts?
