Looking for the collective wisdom of the forum here.
I ordered both the Blue Sea MRBF fuse and block, as well as the South Bend MRBF fuse and block, since everyone seems to know Blue Sea's reputation, but I couldn't find an opinion on South Bend.
From what I could find online, I believe South Bend is an affiliated brand in the Princess Auto realm, since there was one source that put it as a sister company to GRiP. Their webpage is basically non-existent.
Looking at the fuse blocks, there is no noticeable difference; they are for all intents and purposes identical.
Looking at the fuses, it appears there are some very modest design differences, and the Blue Sea is very cleanly built, but in terms of operation, they appear very similarly built, and my untrained eye would say they would likely perform similarly?
Any professionals in our midst that could opine? @John Frum ?
