[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 320362, member: 7544"] I'm no expert with boat motor wiring either but I've never seen or heard of a breaker installed on the wires that go from a battery to a starter on any kind of motor whether it be automotive, ATV, boat, etc. I'm not saying you shouldn't install one but I would think it's going to have to be a pretty hefty size breaker because I suspect the initial spike amp draw of a starter when it's trying to get a motor spinning has to be pretty large. The big spike in amp draw when the starter first starts to spin the motor might be the reason they don't try to install breakers. [/QUOTE]
