Anyone use this for Motorcycle installation? Is the fuse connection water tight?

If you wrap the fuse with sufficient tape it should be fine. Also, depending where you place it in the bike will help.

I installed this light on my sail boat in place of an old light. It was in line with other lights that are on a 10 amp fuse but If you were just installing this light I think you would not need more then a 5 amp fuse.

I fused the incoming side of mine. When I put the fuse in it popped very loud. I thought something was wrong also but it did not blow the fuse and when I checked the voltage on the other wires it was a perfect 12V. Still kinda scary hooking it up but I guess it is normal.

Water proof dose not apply to wiring harnesses! To answer your question yes it can be installed on your motorcycle. If you look closely to the picture there are two leads for two light they are both incased in plastic tubing. Its more of a cleaner look than just two wires. Also the switch recives power from the relay aka your battery, unlike other harnesses that you have to find a power and ground for the switch. I would suggest this harness if you are putting it on your bike. I used it for a led light bar for my front grill to my subaru, i used anther switch as well.

No the motor is water tight. I have had the unit completely in water and touched it to take it out, and I was fine.

I put mine in a camper and I believe it did have an in-line fuse. It certainly can't hurt and adds another layer of protection for you.

I think that the fuse is a safety feature, and is not really intended to be replaced. I would think that if it shorted out badly enough to blow the fuse, that it was damaged and unsafe to use.

I could be wrong but if you tap a 25A fuse then the wire on this unit may not be able to handle it. Plus, if you put 10A fuses in the Bussman then those fuses will blow constantly since your 25A fuse is letting higher amperage through.

No, it just plugs in. If it suitable for marine use it should be watertight enough for automotive use.

It's not what you would called water proof but it is designed to be in marine environment and exposed to saltwater. It will hold up to being wet without corroding. It is a very nice fuse box and is holding up great on my boat in saltwater and gets wet and stays wet for long periods. The cover is just to protect from impact and covers the wire lugs if you don't have covers on connecter.

I think only the manufacturer will be sure about this, but it is a marine switch. I have it mounted under the hood of my motorhome where it will see moisture--so far so good. It looks to me like it is moisture resistant but probably not suitable for being immersed in water.

I put a fuse in line. I am running the KC fog lamps, and the KC spots on my Jeep. I'm running a 50" LED light bar on my Ram. I never run anything with out a fuse. They are not that expencive to buy. If something happens, you want that fuse to blow rather than run the risk of catching your vehicle on fire.

It would sound like it might be overloaded but i can't tell without knowing how many watts you are putting in or pulling off the load terminals. Also wondering if you have the proper fuses installed in your system

The one wire to ground and run a wire to the fuse box in the engine compartment and find a fuse that will be active when the ignition is on. Now if you are going to use the lights in a place were it could get wet, take it apart and use a lot of silicon to seal, otherwise you will not have lights.!!!

Sorry to hear that. I've not had that issue come up yet... Is there something unique about the fuse that makes them difficult to obtain at an electrical/hardware store?

I purchased a harnes with an inline fuse. But I don't think it would matter. I would run a fuse to be safe.

no, you must use the 12 cable supplied with the unit. You can buy an isolaled socket, and connect it at the fuse box, located at the driver or the passanger side. usualley there are some empty sockets that you can connect to. in auto shops there is an adaptor that look like a fuse, that eill fit into the fuse socket. This way there are no cables exposed.
