so i'm finally starting to wire my boat up..
going to be running a bunch of leads for lights, front troller, livewell aerator, etc

i have a switch from cabelas with breakers built in for all the small items
but my troller(s) would be running directly off the battery, unswitched

is it a good idea to put something like this MKR-19 breaker
and if so, should i just run it inline right off the battery so it can kill anything/everything if something goes wrong?

i am such an electronics noob
thanks
 
anyone have any good "how to" links for wiring a boat? I havent found much on google
 
interesting, i didnt even think of doing a separate smaller break for the like the lights etc
was going to just put a 60 across for everything. hmm
 
Um...were you thinking a 60amp for everything?
I don't think that would be good,all your electronics,lights,12v outlet etc. take(or can take)different fuses or breakers.
