Great stuff. Thanks guys. I am going to go with the fuse box as I may add some other accessories as well & I like the idea of just running one wire to the battery. Will pick one up tomorrow at West Marine. Still can't understand how I could have blown the old one with an inline fuse but based on the above it sounds like the problem is with the control wiring, which I would just assume not mess around with... Thanks again.
