About to finish up my restoration project on my 1989 13 super sport and I have a question about the wiring and terminal block. The boat came with a 2 circuit 30 amp Blue Seas terminal block and a glass fuse holder mounted right below it. The fuse holder was totally corroded and not connected. Do I need one? The block is all rusty and the connections are all corroded. I am only going to hook up the running/anchor lights and the tach and maybe the bilge (since the original switch is in the dash. I bought a new terminal block (Blue Sea 2502) but want to get the cover that went over it that was original to the boat. I have seen the similar cover on a buddies identical 1989 13 super sport, but I cannot find one anywhere. It is grey and has the words "fuse cover" stamped on the front. There are 4 holes about 2 3/4 wide x 3 3/4 long. I took a pic of the existing terminal block that is currently in the boat. Any idea where I can get the cover? I want to protect the connections from splashing and any accidental contact.
Thanks Garry
