[C320-list] Fuses on Mk2?

[bruceheyman at cox.net]

We use the circuit breakers as switches allowing us to easily control what is running and draining the batteries.

Dave,

Maybe the fuses are an option? If not I'm sure it's a cost cutting measure 
since marine circuit breakers are not exactly cheap. Except for the 
corrosion issue that you point out, I've never tripped a breaker anyway so 
having spare fuses on board wouldn't be the end of the world I suppose. But 
I'm sure the cruising folks wouldn't like it.
