I have a quick one. I purchased a usb port to install on my boat, and it says to fuse it with a 2amp fuse. Do they make the mini or large blade fuses in 2amp? So far I haven't found any, 3 amp being the smallest at my local farm store. Will that work instead of a 2amp? Will I have to install a glass fuse holder and try to find one of that type? Thanks for the help

Fuses are meant to protect wires, not components. 2 amp ATC (blade) fuses are available, but a 3 amp fuse will be more than adequate if you're using 18-20 gauge wire.
