[QUOTE="Tin Man, post: 508992, member: 7021"] During my wiring planning I recall reading that ABYC requires circuit breakers to be mounted within 7" of the source of power (battery). My new boat came with a 12V TM and I am changing it out to a 24V TM. The OEM wiring for the 12V TM did have a breaker with a short 7" pigtail to positive side of battery. The breaker was not mounted, just free floating on wire circuit. Apparently they followed ABYC guidelines...good to know! However, I wonder if mounting the breaker is also an ABYC requirement? The 60amp breakers, typically used on TMs, have two mounting holes for use when mounting the breaker to a flat surface. How could this breaker be mounted to flat surface (ex. battery compartment) and still be within 7" of the positive battery terminal? Are your breakers within 7" and how did you mount the breaker so close to battery to accomplish this? Pics would be appreciated! Thanks! Pic of breaker in question.....
