Re: circuit breakers

Personally I would never run anything on any boat without some sort of circuit breaker or fused capability. It takes only one time to become a tragedy that could have been preventable... I’d install a 50 amp circuit breaker. They sell them all over the place...JMHO!

Re: circuit breakers

Perhaps we should determine what thrust this trolling motor has before we jump to conclusions about the 50 amp breaker. Being an inflatable, this may very well be a 30# motor with a wire size that cannot handle 50 amps.
