Bob said

Everything=20 else is on fuses

The pro-fuse argument makes sense to me except for one=20 thing: A breaker gives you a positive indication that it = interrupted=20 the circuit. A fuse, particularly a hidden fuse, gives you no=20 indication.

I thought that would be bad because I'm left to diagnose a = problem=20 with incomplete information. e.g. my trim isn't working - is = it=20 something I can do something about or is the trim servo=20 toasted?

You fuse guys must have thought about this. What's = the=20 counter-argument?
