Converting my old Magnetek 6332 to deck style

I read an old post from BFL13 mentioning that you can do this while keeping the old fuse board that has no reverse polarity fuses.
Not needed since a new deck converter has them built on is my understanding, and saving money !

BFL13 mentioned that the fuse board split needs to be jumpered to reverse the split from some circuits being filtered from the battery and some getting power direct from the converter.

Does this jumper simply mean from the fuse board ... the now unused blue terminal lug to the battery positive on the board ?
  • You now have two pos wires from the converter-red and blue to the fuse panel. The new converter will have one pos wire to the fuse panel.

    So jumper the two pos connection points on the fuse panel (on the back usually ) and attach the one pos wire from the new converter to one of those pos connection points. The lug with the set-screw same as where the battery wire comes in allows for fatter wire from the converter.
