If the fuse block is mounted under the instrument panel or on a side panel,
then it won't matter how the wires exit. Fuses do not necessarily have to be
accessible in flight. It is a lot safer to trouble shoot when on the ground.
An
airliner crashed if Florida many years ago while the pilots were troubleshooting
an indicator light. Two or more smaller fuse blocks can be wired in parallel
instead of installing one large expensive one. Each electrical load should have
its own fuse.
Do NOT put two or more loads on one fuse.

Joe,
My comment about using a fuse block with rear mounted wiring was mainly be
cause in my experience, having the wires all come out the rear makes for a
cleaner wiring harness. I've got 3 fuse blocks, one with front attached wir
es. However, that one is mounted in the rear baggage compartment with the b
attery, so no issues with possibly snagging a wire with a foot or other obj
ect.

Sounds good Charlie. The nice thing about building our own aircraft is that we
can do it the way we want. Many times there is not right or wrong way, just
different ways, a matter of personal preference.
