Fuse or Circuit? Neither?

OK, I didn't have any problems with it until I put the led's in, which are routed directly to the battery, so in your post above with going battery direct could be problematic, if I wire them in to a different switch do you think this would fix my problem?

I don't know. The LED circuit shouldn't be connected to the others in any manner and in-boat LED lighting typical draws a VERY small current. Btw, each and every lighting circuit should have the appropriate size of fusing. You are just going to have to make those tests isolating each element one by one. Don't get locked into over-learning coincidences. The timing may or may not be related. Make the tests and get a multimeter (only $10+). You only need to learn a couple of the most basic meter functions to diagnose just about anything.
