A good point is that most of the ATC blade-type fuses are exactly the same, regardless of where they're sold. You can buy the ones at WM for $5 for three or get the bulk pack at Pep Boys.

Some stuff just isn't "marine grade" regardless of where you buy it.

BTW, computer stores do this a lot too. Price an external USB hard drive in the "Mac" section of the store, and it will often be a few bucks more than the identical "Windows" version.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
