when i bought my boat i noticed the horn fuse was blown so bad i couldnt tell what kind it was and without thinking tossed it. NOW that i am rewireing it i am trying to find the right fuse for it but every fuse i put in keeps blowing right away. Anyone know what i can do?

How big of a fuse are you trying? Horns can draw more current than you might think.

it was a glass tube fuse and the inner connection looked to be a thicker kind from what i could tell from. I know nothing about them fuses! so its all new to me.

Well I can't imagine needing more that 20 amps to run a horn. Sounds like you might have a bad horn or the wires are shorted.

This website says to use a 15 so a 10 might not be enough.
