[QUOTE="gmoney, post: 187376, member: 4200"] I would go with just one breaker or fuse, using 1 breaker instead of 2 is one less thing to break, making it less of a hassle while out on the water. I'm not 100% sure but I don't think you should need a switch for the trolling motor because the trolling motor has a switch built in via the speed control. 24V trolling motors draw a lot of current so you will need a switch rated for at least 60 amps or you will burn through switches. Another option if using a switch is to wire in a relay so that the current is handled by the relay and not by the switch. for the switches 1) is correct. 2) is also correct, but it is not necessary to have a dedicated switch for the sonar since it should has an on/off button right on the unit. I can't help you out with the charger situation, no experience there. You could post your wiring questions in the electrical section of the forum and I'm sure someone would gladly help you out, the guys know a tonne of stuff on this site [/QUOTE]
