Thread: Updating and Upgrading My Skeeter F-80 Strada

There was no Fuse Block in this boat and not much of a area to add one.



I like to use 1/2in Oak for this kind of stuff. Oak takes a Machine Thread very well and screws hold once torqued. here I'm threading the 2 mounting holes to 10-24 threads.



Now that I have a Fuse Block mounted I need to find a place to Epoxy this mounting block. A place where it will be easy for my to take a Multi-Meter and check the fuses. Once the location is determined I epoxy the whole part in place.



Now I have the Epoxy mixed up to a Mayo consistency so it doesn't run and have buttered the back of the Oak mounting block.



I found a good dry location under the Dash where it's fairly easy for me to lay down on the deck to check fuses. First sanding the location with 80 grit I placed the mounting block with the Fuse Block in place then applied just enough clamping pressure to secure the block till the epoxy cures.
