Thanks Jamie, I knew you would come through for me LOL

I use the 60amp manual reset shown here. Same as the Minn Kota. Both are made by Bussman. Only difference is the name printed on the unit. I deal with this company often.


Hi Amp Surface Mount - Manual Reset

You don't install a circuit breaker to protect equipment, they protect YOU. Its hard to get away from a fire when your in a boat.

When you get older, it's lots easier to push a reset button than undo one of those dam inliners. ha

Or,

Amazon.com: Bussmann Hi-Amp Circuit Breaker - 50 Amps: Automotive at $24

I suspect circuit breakers are like batteries: lots of brand names but made by a just handful of manufacturers.

I also use the 60 amp manual reset breaker... As a matter of fact, I open the circuit everytime I'm thru fishing just to keep the voltage off the trolling motor...When I launch my boat I go to the back and pull the little lever up to reconnect it.
