All

Marlins at Lakeside didn't have any of these fuses.  I don't suppose any of
you
would have a spare T800mA anti-surge fuse?  I will of course cover it's
cost and
postage.

Thanks

Pete

Hi Peter

It is NOT a quick blow.

the fact that it is clear and has a coiled spring inside indicates and
ANTI-SURGE fuse. If you look on the end cap you will find the rating
written
in the form T800mA or T0.8A or similar.

Quick blow fuses are marked F5A etc.

If you replace an Antisurge fuse with a quick blow it will fail repeatedly.
The reason for Anti Surge is that as your Sub powers up there is a
momentary
surge of current that would blow a normal fuse, the A/S fuse takes longer
to
blow but when it does the spring instantly opens a wide gap in the fuse
cutting off the power.
