Overview
The Blue Sea Systems 5068 is a MAXI in-line fuse holder for DC circuits up to 32V. It accepts one MAXI fuse, carries up to 48A, and comes with a 5 inch #6 red lead wire plus two adhesive-lined sealing shrink wrap tubes for the connection.
On a boat, this style of holder is a practical way to add inline overcurrent protection on a 12V or 24V feed where you want a compact install that is still easy to service. The cover stays attached with a retaining strap, and the mounting hole supports firewall or surface mounting, including side-by-side installation of multiple holders.
Key features
- Accepts one MAXI fuse for inline circuit protection
- Rated for DC systems up to 32V and current up to 48A
- Supplied with a 5 inch #6 red lead wire and two adhesive-lined sealing shrink wrap tubes
- Mounting hole fits 1/4 inch, M6, or #12 fasteners
- Firewall and surface-mount layout allows two or more holders to be mounted together
- Protective cover with retaining strap keeps the fuse area covered while staying easy to open
- Fuse is sold separately
Compatibility and fit
This holder is a good match when your boat's wiring plan already calls for a MAXI fuse and you need an inline format rather than a fuse block. Check the circuit current, wire size, and the fuse value required for the protected conductor before ordering, and confirm you have room for the holder, cover access, and the short lead connection at the mounting point.
Installation and setup
The short #6 lead and included shrink tubes make it suited to clean terminations near a battery feed, distribution point, or other protected branch circuit. Grouped mounting can help when several fused feeds need to be kept together on a bulkhead or similar flat surface, which makes future service easier.
