Could I reverse the orientation to break the circuit and use this tap as a fused supply to the load? (e.g. second battery powers stereo)

Not sure exactly what you mean by reverse the orientation. Power flow from one side of the fuse to the other. I don't think it matters which sides of the prongs of the fuse, if that's what you mean. I have used these fuse taps for extra lights several times with no problem. You power lead wire to the radio should have another inline fuse. The worst that can happen is the in line fuse blows.

You may but at your own risk. I believe that may go against your local electrical code since you are mixing two different voltages in the same j box. Plus I think the power supply is DC. I think the best way is to have a power receptacle that is controlled by a wall switch.

Yes if you want it to. Since it has 2 isolated outputs. You can use one on the starting and one on the trolling. Or both on the trolling. It depends how you wire them up.

You can plug this in upside down. I just checked mine and it can be plugged in either way so it should work with the switch above it.

You "might" be able to. I can't guarantee that you will, due to the internal fuse that appeared to be very, very, sensitive to any fluctuation when I first tried this unit. I returned the first one to Amazon when that happened and had to return the 2nd one as well.

Sure,just wire the 12v supply wire to a 12v switched source instead of the wire that only gets 12 volts when in reverse.

Attach to the secondary side of a 12V ~5A Power supply and watch for spinning direction of the fan motor. If reverse running, swap polarity.

I am not aware if this switch would operate that way if you reversed the wiring. It might.I do know I have a Leviton switch in a house that operates when "on" which was installed by the builder. But do not know how it was wired.

I would doubt it as the volume control will probably stop a reverse current ?

It is not set up to reverse, however, it is a two wire 12v DC motor, and you could put a double pole double throw (DPDT) switch in the power feed to reverse the polarity, and thus the motor direction

I would not try that unless I knew how the batteries were sealed and they certified for that orientation. Ask the manufacturer. Most batteries need to stand erect in some fashion. Great power supply though. I have 2 and they worked great last power outage and storm.

You would have to run the power from the switch output to the positive input at the bottom. Then all the fuses are off until you turn on the switch.

Your fuse panel is +12 volts. By piggybacking another circuit, you are tapping into a +12v feed. So "power side" is the answer.

The 12 volt negative would connect to the negative lead of the 12V accessory you are powering.

No, it will cause the unit to short out, you will need to use a voltage converter

I would NOT recommend that you do this.. It can probably be done but this charger monitors a battery for the level of discharge as well as the level of charge. If it were the exact same battery with the exact level of discharge maybe but I don't see that happening.. I would NOT recommend you do this..

Yes, but be sure you have it wired with the correct polarity- see Joe K.'s response.
