I wired my electric windlass with 2/0 cable, well over spec, from the house bank in the rear to the windlass on the bow. I placed a 200 amp fuse at the battery bank and a 150 amp breaker switch near the windlass. I expected the 150 to trip before the 200 but it did not. The 200 has blown. Why? Nothing else on that fuse.
And of course, I dont have a spare 200 and am not in easy access to a store right now. Considering bypassing the fuse to 'get home'.
