The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
Re: self reset circuit breaker vs. glass tube fuses
Circuit breakers that big are for things like trolling motors or winches certainly not electronics. If you look at your manual it probably calls for a 3 amp fuse.

I'm sure your right I assumed it was my fishfinder because after switching batteries one day on the water my radio and fishfinder stopped working I found lazy wiring while trouble shooting so I changed all connections and one rusted 40amp autoreset breaker I bought a new breaker but won't work so I ran it with no fuse (test only) and it all works.could it be the radio or left over from old anchor winch.....Yup lazy wiring thank-you . I'll check minnkota amps and run fuses in line
Re: self reset circuit breaker vs. glass tube fuses
I would think that the breaker your taking about is at the battery and connected to at least a 8 gage wire, That is the main accessory power circuit, and any accessory's are connected in at a fuse panel. Yes you can replace it with a maxi style blade fuse I recently did the same thing.
If your running a trolling motor it should be on its own circuit with the correct gage of wire and fuse.
