I know that there have been other topics like this but they dont seem to ask exactly what im looking for, im trying to run an aux fuse pannel to add accessories without my ignition harness looking like a cluster of wires. the fuse pannel can handel 80 amps, and i was to find a way to run it as switched power. i was thinking about using 2 40 amp relays together but then there is the worry about one failing. is there any 80 amp relays out there? are there any devices like a circuit breaker with a remote turn on wire? anyone have any other suggestions?

thanks,

Jonathan

okay, here is my situation im looking to get this https://bluesea.com/category/5/21/productline/126 and im looking to run it switched power, the fuse block is rated at 100 amps, so far for relay/solenoids i have these ideas

https://www.theinstallbay.com/product_individual.php?id=908 rated for 80 amps, powerful enough?

https://www.theinstallbay.com/product_individual.php?id=907 rated for 200 amps, overkill?

https://texasindustrialelectric.com/relays.asp 3/4 down the page, here are the specks:

< color=#183280 >< color=#183280>just wondering which one will be the best to fit my needs, i will be using the fuse block for accessories like radar, sat radio, cb, gps and any other things i pick up along the way, i may use a second six fuse block under the hood for off road light and such, any help would be awsome thanks.
