[QUOTE="HOUSE, post: 248357, member: 4466"] oh dear...I totally overlooked the circuit breaker from the battery to the switch! thanks guys. I would have had 10 feet of potential red-hot wire running down the middle of my boat :( My total amp load on that panel is only running about 10amps (3 lights, 1 Fishfinder), but since I might add a rear trolling motor down the road, can I put another 50amp Circuit breaker on it now? I'm a little uneducated as to what happens when you have too large of a fuse/circuit breaker running to something. aka, what are the risks running my panel on a 50amp c/b before I install the second trolling motor? (I'll update my guide as soon as I understand this one...) thanks again! [/QUOTE]
