Valin -
We used all fuses in two electrical busses (dual battery, dual alternator wi/ crossfeed). Both are mounted on the panel but could be located elsewhere. On our ES panel there was room. The busses boxes are dual - you can feed 20 on the top and another 8 on the bottom from a different electrical feed. They are made by Bussmann Model 15712-20-08. We only have two breakers and they are for the alternator fields. We have never gotten a nusance trip, but that is why we put them in. Check these pictures:

The fuse panels are on the right side. We pretty much used Bob Nuckolls' dual battery/dual alternator design with ground power added, and jacks for a trickle charger to each battery.
Hope this helps.

Legacy under construction.
Valin,
For what it's worth. I have more than 37 protected circuits. At least 17
are protected by pullable circuit breakers, 2 by inline fuses and 18 by
automotive fuses located in the 20 element fuse block available from B & C. Most
Avionics and crucial motors are thru circuit breakers. Secondary circuits and
certain lights are fused.
