[QUOTE="Bob Landry, post: 227013, member: 7025"] The bilge pump also needs to be fused according to what the amp draw is going to be. Remember the fuse/CB protection needs to be as close to the battery as ypu can get it. The purpose of the fuse is to protect the wiring, not the device. The "spec" I mentioned is used by the big boat builders. If you are boarded and inspected by the Coast Guard or Game Warden, they aren't going to inspect ypur electrical system, but it's just good wiring practice and can prevent a fire. [/QUOTE]
