[QUOTE="justin sumner, post: 447014, member: 13457"] Maybe I am missing something here and not understanding, but why are the terminal posts so small on trolling motor circuit breakers? I bought the Minnkota 60 amp breaker and need to wire it up to my 24v system for my 65lb Maxxum The problem is that the ring terminals I have for 6g wire are way too big on the stud end to secure them to the breaker I just don't understand why the terminal posts are tiny if we are supposed to be using 6 or 8 gauge wire I have been to Home Depot, Auto Zone, and Ace Hardware, and none of them had smaller stud sized ring terminals for 6g Where should I be going to shop for a better variety of ring terminals and wiring accessories I still need to wire up my buss bars, fuse block, rocker switch panel, and all my accessories Also where can I buy the buss bars, 6 position for accessories with plastic lid.............Maybe this all just needs to be done ordering online which is a pain [/QUOTE]
