ACR wiring question

[Martin610]

I have always been surprised to see the positive wire to the ACR being protected by a green fuse holder wire. I have never seen a green (usually ground) wire with a fuse holder. I have attached a picture from my Cutwater 28. It certainly is nice to be able to post pictures again!

Seeing red positive going to green with a fuse holder seems strange to me.

Does anyone know why this is done?

It appears the wires in question are likely for bilge pumps or other 24/7 items. You can check the labels found on the associated red wires to confirm. The ACR posts were likely just a convenient place to connect to un-switched battery power. I agree it is odd they are green but perhaps that was the only color available during the install. It would be good practice to wrap the connection end with red electrical tape To indicate they are positive power.
