My Electric System - Am I going to die?

Just so I'm clear, is there SUPPOSED to be a fuse block/box between the converter and 12V loads (lights,etc.)?

There may be or not. My '71 Progressive Dynamics 808 converter had three fused circuits in the converter. These three fuses protected individual 12V circuits. Your power supply may have the same type of fuse protection. You may also have protection from the afore pictured fuse terminal board. Have you found out what all of those wires power? How about that brake question? That may prove to be pretty important. The laws have changed in most States since 1971 and if you don't have electric brakes and a break-away system, you may have to add that. That will also dictate battery need and wiring configurations.
