Trolling Motor Question
Well as I told you guys a while back, I gutted and trashed the old boat. Ive recently picked up a 12' Landau Jon boat. Ive made a trolling motor mount and put a game fisher 3700 on it and ran all the wires. Anyway the question I have is how big of a fuse do i need to put in it? the old boat didnt have a fuse for it anywhere. Ill get pics of it once Im done.

Forget about fuses. Install a couple 50 amp breakers so you can re-set them when they trip. I hope you installed 6 Ga. wires to the TM so you get plenty of amperage without the wires heating up and tripping the breakers. You should be able to pick up the breakers at most boat dealers or marine supply places. JackL
