Never thought of needing an anchor light position. Thumbs Up My lights are normally removed, so if I ever needed that I would just leave my stern light installed. Too much for what I need. Leaving them in will just get them broke off around here.

Any suggestion on amperage for fuse(s)?

Thanks again, who knows I may just finish this in time to go fishing!

Put a fuse close to where you connect to the +12. Fuse size will depend on wire size, and wire size depends on what the lights draw.

I prefer to pick a fuse with slightly more capacity than the total of the lights, then check to make sure each wire in the circuit can handle that amount of current by itself.

Thanks, I'll go with a blade-style close to the battery.

Close to the battery. This placement protects most of the wiring ofthe circuit.
