[QUOTE="Derek, post: 220387, member: 2615"] here is my setup. I have since cleaned up the wring. The 2-50 amp circuit breakers are the main feeds for the (2) fuse panels under my console. The bus bar is for ground connections for the accessories in the rear of the boat. [img]https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v462/rollin37s/S-IMG_4065.jpg[/img] The 2 larger red wires are the feed from the above circuit breakers. I have 2 fuse panels because of the number of accessories I will eventually have. Each accessory has its own fuse then the power wire runs to the switch (for switched accessories such as nav lights) or directly to the accessory. That bus bar is again for all the grounds in the front of the boat. [img]https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v462/rollin37s/S-IMG_4073.jpg[/img] My trolling motor has its own battery and another 50 amp circuit breaker. [img]https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v462/rollin37s/S-IMG_4016.jpg[/img] the main fuse is to protect the wiring running to your switch panel, so it should be rated at the amperage of all your accessories added together.
