[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 473819, member: 13975"] Good warning. On small, simple jon boats I rig up, I like to use the Blue Seas circuit breakers you can manually trip. Since the boat typically just has navigation lights and a couple of other circuits at the most I run everything plus the trolling motor on a single battery. I use the circuit breaker like a battery switch with a single heavy gauge wire running from the battery positive to the breaker and then on the other breaker post I run wire to the battery as well as another wire to a switch panel of some sorts that can distribute power to everything else. Of course each of those circuits will need some sort of individual circuit protection as well. There are numerous ways this all can be done but I have found this works well for me. BTW, these breakers can be attached to the 2" side of a 4x4x2" electrical junction box and then the box cover can be cut to hold 3 or more switches depending on size.
