Circuit breaker

Looking at the picture again, it does look like it has a reset button but did not see where it says its a resettable one.

Cabela's: Manual Reset Circuit Breaker

This is very similar to what I've got on my Tracker PT 175 w/ a 55# Terrova with IP, has not tripped yet, but I don't run on 10, I do go up to 8 or 9 at times if I'm going to the other side of a large cove and too lazy to crank up the 60hp. Mine attaches to the battery terminal with a bracket that came with the breaker. If it does trip, I just have to open the storage compartment lid, and push the reset button and continue fishing.

Thats what I have now, but was wanting something I could shut off power to the motor. Its a PD it doesnt kill the power when you stow it. I was lookin at this one too.

If you PD is not hardwired, then just unplug the power plug up front. That's what I do on my Terrova as a safety precaution.

I dont have a plug upfront its wired direct.

something to consider, I've used this on my boat for years w/o issue

I'm wondering. Can a circuit breaker be used as a power cut-off? I thought that a circuit breaker was "on" until it sensed an overload condition, then tripped. Can you trip it manually?

Wilbur, you need a way to disconnect when charging the battery, I blew to control boards before talking to Minn kota and finding the problem. I would call and ask what they reccomend.

The one that Wilbur posted on another thread can be used that way. We used to use them in a higher amp rating on lift gates on our straight trucks. Trip the breaker at battery box as a safety measure. Just reset and good to go. Wilbur post that link over here.

It is, its on post #12
